"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory mentioned, which states that this has already happened." (Doug Adams)

@MrScoville Wait, you didn't catch when it happened like 6 hours ago?
I was just thinking about putting up a scaffolding with needles and throwing some balloons filled with water at it to water my lawn when i was suddenly not at work anymore...

@MrScoville Ah yes, it is about useless complexity. Sorry to trigger another reset - around we go!

@admitsWrongIfProven Useless complexity is also called "Occam's Razor". Just that Mr Occam used to be a strong believer in God :ablobpopcorn:

@MrScoville Wait, he won? He actually proved himself wrong?
Introducing useless complexity after stating that useless complexity should not be introduced... strong move!

@admitsWrongIfProven I'm pretty sure that you already know the pun here... "Oh dear,' says God, 'I hadn't thought of that,' and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.”

@MrScoville But relating to work, it was just a strong vintage of old code that inspired me.
