Meatball Programming

"Meatball Programming" is to programming what "Meatball Surgery" was to surgery on the TV series M*A*S*H, which ran from 1972 to 1983.

It is a hasty, ad-hoc approach to coding in which quick fixes are implemented without proper planning, documentation, testing, or regard for long-term system stability. These fixes are pushed up to the Live environment in record time, and they are focused solely on immediate problem resolution.

Our website is down again. The boys in the back room are doing some meatball programming to get it working again before we piss off even more users.

Meta-Progress

Progress in the very rate or nature of progress itself. It’s not inventing the car; it’s inventing the assembly line that makes cars cheaper and faster to invent. It’s the shift from linear, human-driven advancement to exponential, technology-accelerated change. Reaching a point of meta-progress is like finding the cheat code for civilization, where each breakthrough shortens the time until the next one, potentially leading to a vertical line on the graph of history.

*Example: "The 21st century isn't about new inventions; it's about meta-progress. The internet didn't just give us cat videos; it created the global collaboration network that accelerated biotech, which then accelerated AI, which is now designing the next acceleration engine. We're not riding a train; we're strapped to a rocket that's building a faster rocket."*

Pro-Progressive Cyber-Nihilism

A variant that attempts to harness cyber-nihilist energy toward progressive social transformation while maintaining the core commitment to overcoming meatspace. Pro-Progressive Cyber-Nihilism argues that the current social order—with its hierarchies, oppressions, and injustices—is an obstacle to the Wired's emergence. Therefore, fighting for racial justice, gender liberation, economic equality, and other progressive goals is not an end in itself but a way of clearing the ground for the post-human future. It dismantles the systems that would seek to control or gentrify the Wired, ensuring that when the transformation comes, it cannot be captured by the old hierarchies. The progressive struggle becomes a form of world-clearing, preparing the way for what cannot yet be named.

Pro-Progressive Cyber-Nihilism Example: "The collective organized against police surveillance while building encrypted mesh networks in marginalized communities. 'We're not liberating anyone,' they insisted. 'We're making sure that when the Wired finally eats the world, there's no hierarchy left to digest. Progressive politics is just demolition work—clearing the site for something that has no use for us.' Activists found this either inspiring or horrifying, depending on how much they wanted to survive."

Mobile Programming

The art of creating applications for mobile devices, which can seem straightforward but often leads to confusion and frustration—especially for those who score an F, like I did, when faced with the intricacies of different platforms and coding languages.

Mobile Programming sounded fun until I got an E in the course; it turns out that juggling APIs, frameworks, and debugging is a lot harder than it seems!
