"I want to change the world but they won't give me the source code"- t-shirt slogan
This funny t-shirt was on a participant to a programming camp. It made me think about how we often want to change the system. BUT wanting and being able to are two different things.
So how does one change the system? As the shirt says,"...you must have the source code." To programmers having access to the source code is a gold mine. You can manipulate it into what the desired output should look like. You can get rid of any un-wanted bugs.
Changing anything without having access is impossible. This is true for systems, people, or one self. Ultimately the only thing we can change is ourselves.
Today's question is:
"What source code are you missing?"
