so I am gonna ask a silly conceptual #programmer question

I am gonna make up a term here

is _dialectical_ computer programming a thing

@Alyx what do you mean by this

@ky0ko yeah I am being kinda vague

we tend to think of programming in this very centralized way. a string of commands, one after the other. either they're executed or they go wrong

it's very much the way logicbros regard thought itself to work, as purely deductive. a string of logical inferences, and either they're correct and "logical" or they're not

but reality is more about dialogues, about alternating between point and counterpoint
