And sometimes, granularity is difficult.
And sometimes, people overstep their boundaries.
And sometimes, boundaries are not set right.
And sometimes, people would try to hack their way into hurting you.
You get stronger security, and you get less user-friendly.
Some would choose verbose mode, some will complain that you talk too much.
Some users will throw errors at you, some will stop responding at all.
Some are poorly documented, and some have crappy customer support.And sometimes… ping! pong! A connection happens.Handshakes. Permissions are requested and granted. Smiles. Information is exchanged. Backup plans work.Happiness gets multiplied. Logs are lovingly kept.And all you exchanged were words.(This goes on on the comments below, just in case Google pulls the plug of yet another service).

Estrenando libreta (om…)
No sé si os preocupa, queridos lectores, pero mis vacaciones de este mes no son vacaciones de escribir. De hecho, estoy escribiendo tanto que acabo de terminar una libreta entera que empecé en julio. Los mecenas de mi Patreon tienen ya un índice con lo que iré publicando. Espero que guste… he ido a lo más
Manifiesto: En defensa de los derechos fundamentales de Internet
Yo apoyo este manifiesto. Esencialmente, que te corten el acceso a internet, sin mediación de un juez ni nada, es inadmisible. Imaginaos que te cortaran la luz porque tocas canciones con copyright. Es de locos. — Ante la inclusión en el Anteproyecto de Ley de Economía sostenible de modificaciones legislativas que afectan al libre ejercicio
«The thing with words is that they’re code to get to feelings.»
Nonononononononono.
The same exact words have different reactions in different contexts, even when directed to the same person, not to mention how different the effects are with different persons.
Your feelings are a direct consequence of the cognitive filters you apply to your experience, and those filters are under your control, even if you are not aware of this. That is why we can treat depression, anxiety and other stuff like that, because we can teach people to change their filters so words that used to be painful stop doing damage to them, or whatever.
The analogy you use is really nice, but it stems from a very wrong initial axiom.
I agree with 100% of the things you have said, and I still think that the simile works.
Code can also be interpreted differently depending on users, system settings and context.
