Reposted by Oliverrob pike @robpike.io · 25/12/2025Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry. 10081852201 0
Oliver @oliverrc-za.bsky.social · 06/09/2025My pet peeve is going to a service I use only to find I am logged out. Then when I try and login I get the "Invalid credentials" error. It is impossible because I use a password manager. The only rational explanation is they lost or changed my password without informing me. 000 0
Oliver @oliverrc-za.bsky.social · 04/06/2025I miss the days of being excited when I receive an email from a software platform like "oooo I wonder what's new". Instead now it's trepidation about how they are going to fuck you by offering you less for more money or some shitty AI integration 000 0

Oliver @oliverrc-za.bsky.social · 13/03/2025Ive often been surprised just how poorly implemented most car software solutions are. It's mostly just a client app for the cars subsystems, why is it so hard?

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)
