OneThingWell.dev WikiBlog
How do we convince people that in programming simplicity and clarity – in short: what mathematicians call elegance – are not a dispensable luxury, but a crucial matter that decides between success and failure?
-- Edsger W. Dijkstra
Modern software development is beyond broken. Complexity worshipping and popular practices of cargo cult programming and resume-driven development are just making matters worse.
OneThingWell.dev is a custom combination of a software development wiki and a blog with a strong focus on simplicity and clarity. There are no ads, no analytics/tracking scripts, and everything is designed from the ground up to be fast, clean, and privacy-friendly.
The Internet was done so well that most people think of it as a natural resource like the Pacific Ocean, rather than something that was man-made. When was the last time a technology with a scale like that was so error-free? The Web, in comparison, is a joke. The Web was done by amateurs.
-- Alan Kay
