@movq I couldn't agree more! It's far from easy. I'm not free of this guilt either. But I'm hardly trying.
@movq I'd love to have a Python script pushing my local CSV, too. But that's never gonna fly, not in a thousand years. I can't imagine that ever becoming reasonably stable without having to fix everything after the reverse-engineered API changes again.

@lyse dmenu is a great example.
There have been several attempts at porting dmenu from X11 to Wayland. Well, not exactly โportingโ it, more like rewriting it from scratch. Turns out: Itโs not that easy.
dmenu is super fast and reliable. None of the Wayland rewrites are (at least none of the popular ones that I know of). They are either bloated and/or slow.
It takes *a lot* of discipline and restraint to write simple software and not blow up the codebase. This is much harder than people think. Itโs a form of art, really.

@movq Yeah, it's a shitshow. MS overconfirms all my prejudices constantly.
Ignoring e-mail after lunch works great, though. :-)
Our timetracking is offline for over a week because of reasons. The responsible bunglers are falling by the skin of their teeth: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/timetracking.png
1. The error message neither includes the timeframe nor a link to an announcement article.
2. The HTML page needs to download JS in order to display the fucking error message.
3. Proper HTTP status codes are clearly only for big losers.
4. Despite being down, heaps of resources are still fetched.
I find it really fascinating how one can screw up on so many levels. This is developed inhouse, I'm just so glad that we're not a software engineering company. Oh wait. How embarrassing.

I don't use a screen reader fortunately (_actually they're pretty garbage_). So all good ๐ (_I juse use full-screen zoom_).

Many of these ideas are not very wide spread. And I havenโt come across similar projects in all these years.
Letโs take the farbfeld image format as an example again. I think this captures the โspiritโ quite well, because this isnโt even about *code*.
This is the entire farbfeld spec:
farbfeld is a lossless image format which is easy to parse, pipe and compress. It has the following format:

The RGB-data should be sRGB for best interoperability and not alpha-premultiplied.
(Now, I donโt know if your screen reader can work with this. Let me know if it doesnโt.)
I think these are some of the properties worth mentioning:
- The spec is extremely short. You can read this in under a minute and fully understand it. That alone is gold.
- There are no โknobsโ: Itโs just a single version, itโs not like thereโs also an 8-bit color depth version and one for 16-bit and one for extra large images and one that supports layers and so on. This makes it much easier to implement a fully compliant program.
- Despite being so simple, itโs *useful*. Iโve used it in various programs, like my window manager, my status bars, some toy programs like โtuxeyesโ (an Xeyes variant), or Advent of Code.
- The format does not include compression because it doesnโt need to. Just use something like bzip2 to get file sizes similar to PNG.
- It doesnโt cover every use case under the sun, but it does cover the most important ones (imho). They have discussed using something other than RGBA and decided itโs not worth the trouble.
- They refrained from adding extra baggage like metadata. It would have needlessly complicated things.

For example, I reckon software should treat stdout and stderr with care and never output logs or other such garbage to stdout that cannot possibly be useful in a UNIX pipeline ๐
@movq Yeah that's why I'm striking this conversation with you ๐
Not only do I respect your opinion quite highly ๐คฃ But like you say (_and I've read their philipshpy_) it can be a bit "elitism" for sure. I'm genuinely interested in what we think of as software that "doesn't suck". Tb be honest I haven't really put thought to paper myself, but I reckon if I did, I'd have some opinions/ideas...
@prologic Hm, I wouldnโt say that. Go code could fall into that category as well.
Maybe this topic could use a blog post / article, that explains what itโs about. Iโm finding it hard to really define what โsuckless-like softwareโ is. ๐ค (Their own philosophy focuses too much on elitism, if you ask me.)
