[[!meta title="The suckless agenda"]]
Laws of Computer Programming:
1. Any given program, when running, is obsolete.
2. Any given program costs more and takes longer.
3. If a program is useful, it will have to be changed.
4. If a program is useless, it will have to be documented.
5. Any given program will expand to fill all available memory.
6. The value of a program is proportional the weight of its output.
7. Program complexity grows until it exceeds the capability of
the programmer who must maintain it.
