I had no idea Albert Camus was an anarchist, I've read some of his work (The Myth of Sisyphus and The rebel) and it shouldn't really surprise me to find out he is a socialist of some form.

Edit: If it isn't clear Camus is a fantastic writer and you should definitely check out some of his work, and more articles from https://libcom.org/ if you have the time!




At the very least, even if you haven’t read Camus, I expect that any programmer of any experience should already have some intuitive sympathy with “The Myth of Sisyphus.”


If staging is sometimes debugged in sorrow, it can also take place in joy, for the struggle itself to release to prod is enough to fill a dev's heart.

One must imagine Sisyphus happy working within an extremely obscure and undocumented micro services architecture


Fixing one bug only to find the fix reveals another bug. Repeat til the end of time.


Really? I think he was very open in his admiration for some of the anarchists mentioned in The Rebel, calling Kaliayev & co, 'men of the highest principles' and refers to other anarchists' "profound considerations for the lives of others".


I either forgot about them or didn't make the association, its been a while since I've read it.
