I heard a guy once tried to make his Linux work without compiling Hannah Montana Linux. It was obviously a failure from the start, but the madman raged on. In his hubris, he obstinately weaved lines of code to make something… Anything that would seem to function as an OS, at least from the surface, no matter what cursed and bloated horrors laid beneath.
An insane smile cracked on his face as lightning in the night sky as he’d finally made his monitor display a pop-up window that read “hello world”.
Soon he’d ironed out the details of all the other stuff an OS was supposed to do, an released his abomination upon the market… Keeping it closed source so no-one could see what sacrilege he’d done to get there, and also so that he could make a buttload of money.
Keeping it closed source so no-one could see what sacrilege he’d done to get there
I often feel this way about my own code. Yeah I wanna share but…I don’t want to get torn apart by 10x developers. There’s a lot of things I’m ashamed of.

Thus was born Microsoft Windows.
Copypasta worthy
