Software tooling reminds me of floating ladders with a person attached.
Although it looks like someone is climbing the ladder, it's the ladder moving down with each swing of arm and leg.
The person attached maintains the same position in air, pushing their ladder down.
And so these persons-attached stack ladders, moving them all downward to accomplish these heavily-related tasks:
1. To invert the problem of technology as all blissfully do: instead of finding a problem and then seeking to solve it, let's solve it and then seek a problem.
2. Though they've not moved an inch since the ladder monolith was instantiated, they can maintain that all the programming exercises have prepared them for the days to come
3. And to pin a noble hope that, through a sheer incidentals, their ladder-stacks hit the ground, and therefore start moving up.
And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
Gen 10:8 KJV
