Spartan programs for heroes
---------------------------
Why bare bones simple programs are your best friends?
Spartan programs, very simple, human readable code for the core tasks
have several advantages and several unmatched life-changing elements
compared to regular junk around computers.
Obvious advantages are that you may easier to understand and change
the code. Another point is, as the code is minimal, it also does very
little, so less things can break during a process. It is more
predictable and adjustable for changing environment. There are
probably still many people who will not even agree on this. Some are
just totaly out of reality, bind into their corporate sick thoughts.
Then there are some aspects of minimal and readable small code, which
may be not so obvious. Spartan programs are more in line with life, so
with humans. Those tiny personal pieces of code don't bring comfort
malaria into your life. If you want something to do, you have to do
some work, your minimal program will not bring you to the heavean
itself. You have to drive it. It will not process tens or hundreds of
tasks behind the scene so you are safe, secure and can eat popcorn.
Do you want to send an email? Do it. Other server rejected you? Find
out why and send your message again with fixes. Did you make a
mistake? You pay for it. Learn and do it better again.
You learn a lot about computing, tools, protocols and systems you work
with. Learning, getting experience, using your intelligence you just
become true living human. Like when you are in a jungle, wandering
around with all your protective cloths, tools, knife and whatever, you
still can fall down on a rock and break your leg. You may start to
scream around for help, but you will not get the confirmation from
the server. You don't get reply message over the wood "We got your
help call, we are coming". No way. You send your voice over the air
and maybe pray ;/ Somebody may hear you or not. It's not up to you.
Answers and results are job of Life itself, not yours.
You become a hero, true human, who is responsible for his life, an
adult who does himself what he can. You don't need a curator, nurse
who will carry you over life, even the online one.
Be true hero, throw out all garbage from your machinery. Keep just
God's particles inside. Your life will be joy.

True power lies in simplicity. Focus on what matters, strip away the
rest. The less you need, the more you achieve.
