"What topic..." - The disappointing and rather uninspiring state of programming language design today. - Developer's inexplicable love for complexity and their complete inability to recognise it. - The hypocrisy that's rife throughout the programming profession on so many topics e.g privacy and online tracking; the pervasive lack of quality, the low standards. - We love to say one thing and practice the complete opposite (while being completely oblivious to it). Beliefs like striving for simplicity and the importance of naming things are dutifully acknowledged and agreed by all developers but make not one iota of difference to the way they code. - How the foundation of much modern computing is built with sticking plaster and quicksand - but most developers couldn't care less.
