What does it mean for Buggy Software to be normal? Does that mean we get complacent? What can we learn by coding in JavaScript and HTML? Do we reach for professional tools too quickly?

We can also trigger insights, that we ourselves have gained, by reading meaning into unrelated text, content or koans.
