patrickReiis on Nostr: Humans have always been inspired by nature, be it when the first human saw a mushroom ...
Humans have always been inspired by nature, be it when the first human saw a mushroom in the rain and projected the first umbrella, all the way until when the human learned about the communication that happens in the soil between trees of different species with fungus (mycorrhizal networks).
Hence, "wood wide web".
As Alex well said, "Nature is simple".
Imagine a software program that draws stuff in the screen, like Photoshop or Paint.
In the code, it's not written all the possibilities that you can draw, instead, the program only draws where your mouse clicks.
So in the codebase, there's no if statement like:
```
if (possibility number 10000) { // draw Monalisa }
```
Simplicity is the law of the universe, hence "Every action has a reaction"
More examples:
- Bitcoin has less than 10 pages in the paper, and it's simple.
- Nostr is less than 2 pages, and it's simple.
- Vaccines just inject a small portion of the virus into you so your body can learn how to fight it, simple concept (except for the evil covid vaccine)
- Computers are just 1s and 0s
So in the case of programming, it's no different, simple code is just beautiful. But as Alex (nprofile…qq9h) well said again this:
"""
Therefore the thing you're building matters, not just how you build it.
"""
You can't have 100% simple code if the thing you are building is inherently evilly complex, like Bluesky.
I don't know if I fully answered your question.
