  I try not to judge the quality of software by the quality of it’s branding because I would prefer that others extend me the same courtesy.

  I’m a good software engineer. I’m good at it in part because I have a knack for problem solving and I enjoy creating useful tools that work well.

  I’m also a terrible artist. I can’t even draw a good looking stick figure. I’m amazed by people who are good artists. Some of them have an incredible amount of talent. I know that artistry, just like engineering, requires skill that is mostly built through learning and practice. But there’s something inside our brains that makes some of us naturally good at these things.

  I express my creativity through problem solving. Others express theirs through visual art or in many other ways. That’s just one of the wonders of human diversity.

  So, if you find a software app that seems well made and well documented, don’t judge the creator too harshly if they don’t have an eye for visual style. It may just not be their forte and for all you know they’re judging their own work far more harshly than you.

  To a sizeable number of “Christians”, Jesus is more of an abstract concept than an actual being. Believing he existed is more important than listening to or living out what he had to say. I mean, I’ve actually quoted passages from the bible to people when they try to rug sweep Trumps many moral bankruptcies or start shitting all over poor people or immigrants. And what do they do? They look down at their feet for a few seconds with a sort of guilty expression on their face. Then, they just kind of shake it off and launch right back into whatever bullshit they were spouting before.

  If any of those people ever bothered to crack a bible, they would find a fair chunk of it is spent vehemently railing against the things they are pushing for.

  There is way more nuance to and lack of agreement on these topics than is presented here. Do I think God could forgive Jeffrey Dhamer? Absolutely. Do people go to “hell” for being gay? Absolutely not. First, because hell (as in the place of eternal torment) doesn’t exist. Second, being gay isnt a sin.

  And yes, I know there’s an army of other Christians out there who are are foaming at the mouth in disagreement.
