things elecronic

I think part of the reason I enjoy programming so much is that there is no entropy in what I create. Information gets out of date, standards change, yes, but that’s just a synchronization problem, not a Universe problem.

Or is entropy a bad thing? It’s the enemy of order and structure, yes. But it does keep things clean, and as the old stuff wears out, it gives us an excuse and a drive to innovate the new.

Huh.
