Sufficiently advanced software
A couple of days ago my sleepy brain mashed up Clarke's Law:
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
and Hanlon's Razor:
Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity.
to produce these words of wisdom:
Any sufficiently advanced software is indistinguishable from malice.
(Why yes, I had spent the evening dealing with Git. Why do you ask?)
This sounded like something Bryan Horstmann-Allen would have said, so with his permission, I am naming it after him.
BDHA's Law? BDHA's Razor? No!
