Alteration of the "STOP DOING MATH" meme, edited to the following:

STOP DOING SPECS

- SOFTWARE WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE STRICTLY DEFINED
- YEARS OF SPEC WRITING yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for the AUGMENTED BACKUS-NAUR FORM
- Wanted to establish standards anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called "MANPAGES"
- "The container of a navigable navigable is the navigable container whose content navigable is navigable" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged

LOOK at what Spec Authors have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the RFCs & working groups we built for them
(This is REAL Spec, done by REAL Spec Authors):

I’m convinced that a large % of programmers don’t actually like computers. As a side effect, are also perfectly happy to throw away their reasoning to a model as soon as they can. I don’t get it, at ALL.

I know I'm a dusty old crone, but I'm old enough to remember when real programmers could get a fully functional browser in 10k lines and an entire embedded system in 5k. We're bigging up vibe coding by measuring it against 21st century webdev hackers who absolutely cannot code for shit.

you can't really compare this to what a senior engineer would build. How do you know this is the best solution. Do you know whether a real engineer would need 100k LoC to remake this? Stop larping as a software engineer, then telling me my job is at threat.

how does at protocol even work for someone like @tangled.org. so you selfhost a "knot" and that you can push code there. then you can view other people's code on that same instance via at protocol?
