Bootstrapping
What sucks about finally giving in; about finally silencing that voice in the back of your head who tells you that it’s downright unreasonable to write so much software from scratch, and that if you just keep looking you’ll find something good enough that almost does what you need; what sucks about letting that go and deciding “Fuck it; no; no one else is ever going to write the tools I want to have, so that I can get done the things I want to get done”; what sucks about that, is this:
You need non-sucky software to support the writing of non-sucky software.
Either that, or you need a lot of quadrille paper. At least I do. And my handwriting also sucks.
