中文导读
Erlang 联合发明人 Joe Armstrong 在 Strange Loop 上的犀利演讲。他风趣又辛辣地吐槽了现代软件生态的混乱现状——构建工具、包管理器、代码熵增以及计算的物理极限，并力挺按内容哈希命名资产、勇于推倒重写第一个版本等激进理念。
为什么 HN 推它
HN 上的常青树级推荐。大家普遍认为他对软件臃肿与混乱的诊断至今依然一针见血，每当讨论模块设计、包管理或软件质量困境时，都会被反复引用。
「极少数既能让人捧腹大笑，同时又干货满满的硬核演讲。」HN 网友原话：one of those talks which were incredibly funny and informative at the same time
英文原摘要（HackerTube / Claude 整理）
Joe Armstrong, co-inventor of Erlang, gives a funny and opinionated Strange Loop talk on the tangled state of software: build tools, package managers, entropy and the physical limits of computation. He argues for ideas like naming things by content hash and throwing away your first version.
HN returns to it constantly as a witty, still-accurate diagnosis of why software is bloated and messy, and as a go-to recommendation in any thread on modules, package managers or software quality.
HN 上的提及
where he opines that the web would be great if, instead of URLs, every published document were just named with a hash of its content.
