[[!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 Any given program, when running, is obsolete.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.

# Guiding principles
* [Software rot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_rot).
* [The Mutt E-Mail Client](http://www.mutt.org/): "All mail clients suck. This one just sucks less".
* [The Future Programming Manifesto](http://alarmingdevelopment.org/?p=893).
* [Unix philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy).
* [KISS principle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle).
* [suckless.org software that sucks less](http://suckless.org/).
* [principles - IndieWebCamp](http://indiewebcamp.com/principles).
## Contributions to the agenda
Though a program be but three lines long, someday it will have to
be maintained.
-- The Tao of Programming
* [Security Specs](https://manual.fluxo.info/specs).
* [Static site generation](/static).
* [Metadot](https://metadot.fluxo.info) to manage dotfiles along with [a locally-installable applications repository](https://inception.fluxo.info).
## Stuff currently being observed
* [Neovim](http://neovim.io).
## I should not install a software if
I can solve my problem using:
* A terminal and the related userland.
* A text editor like `vim`.
* A version control system like `git`.
