Us computer scientists (or developers or coders or whatever we are called at the moment) typically think we are really smart. We can be unbearable know-it-alls, really.

And yet we screw up, collectively and individually, over and over again on the fundamentals of making good software that serves people, by making not-very-well-thought-out decisions.

Your surname is a word we decided should mean nothing/empty/unknown? Oh, we didn’t think about that. Um, can you just change it?
