"Assumption is the maker of all failures."
It's easy to blame "the computer" or "the software" or "technology" when something fails in computing. However, those failures almost universally stem from some human(s) making invalid assumptions, implicitly or explicitly.
I have taught myself to analyze failures as invalid human assumptions, because I have found that I learn the most from analyzing failures from that angle. To best understand failures, look for the invalid assumptions.

@jbqueru there is an analogous misconception that the work of mathematics is strict and logical instead of entirely human in nature

@hipsterelectron Oh yeah, mathematics are just a set of human conventions for humans to communicate and collaborate. There's not even any absolute truth in there. And Gödel's incompleteness theorems actually prove that it has to be that way.

@jbqueru and the choice of assumptions define how

@jbqueru and this isn't arbitrary it is in fact the basis of all meaning
