This reminds me of my favourite explanation of why many children are afraid of the dark; we are decended from hominids that were big-cat prey and are genetically predisposed to be hyperalert at night.
- ptx 5y agoIsn't the fact that darkness effectively disables one of your most important senses, so that you can't tell what's going on, enough of an explanation? Aren't you (as I know I am) afraid of writing code that you can't test, for example, despite our hominid ancestors' lack of computers?
