Bugtations as Patched Quotations (Bugtation No.115)
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010While reading Software Studies: A Lexicon (Leonardo Books) I came upon an article about Concurrent Versions System written by Simon Yuill. It features a patched quotation from Proudhon:
“The highest perfection of society is found in the union of order and anarchy.” ->
-> “The highest perfection of software is found in the union of order and anarchy.”
Therefore, a bugtation as paradigmatic substitution can be seen as specialised topical patching. It is also augmented with topical coloring:
“The highest perfection of” debugging “is found in the union of order and anarchy.”
Double patching now?
