A reminder: things can be understood. This blog post is excellent, but too narrow:

If a human was smart enough to pull something off, you are probably smart enough to figure it out if you invest the time.

Computers can be understood

Introduction This post attempts to describe a mindset I’ve come to realize I bring to essentially all of my work with software. I attempt to articulate this mindset, some of its implications and strengths, and some of the ways in which it’s lead me astray. Software can be understood I approach software with a deep-seated belief that computers and software systems can be understood. This belief is, for me, not some abstruse theoretical assertion, but a deeply felt belief that essentially any question I might care to ask (about computers) has a comprehensible answer which is accessible with determined exploration and learning.
