I won’t go into how I got here this morning (maybe in a blog post sometime), but I realized a reason so much contemporary software turns me off: it’s ugly.

So much of it is so goddamned ugly, on the outside and/or the inside. I struggle to think of more than one or two that I’d consider beautiful in the last 10 years.

It would be easy to say that this doesn’t matter so long as it meets the measurable criteria, but anyone familiar with humans knows better.

Now I’m on the lookout for the beautiful software, the beautiful code.
