Technology and Impermanence

Every framework will become obsolete. Every language will fade. Every architecture will be replaced.

This is not a cause for despair—it is the natural order.

The zen technologist does not cling to tools. They cultivate principles that transcend any particular technology.

Learn deeply, but hold lightly.

The code you write today will be rewritten tomorrow. This is not failure—this is progress.

Simplicity in Code

The best code is not the cleverest code. It is the code that clearly expresses its intent.

When we write software, we are not just instructing machines—we are communicating with future humans, including our future selves.

Choose clarity over cleverness. Choose understanding over optimization. Choose maintainability over performance, until performance becomes necessary.

The path of the zen programmer is to write code that feels inevitable, as if it could not have been written any other way.
