ATWOOD's Law

Remember; wherever you are in the world, there you are.

Any library that can be written, will eventually be at least 10 NPM libraries.

gosh darned

Every minute, sixty seconds passes

@Demolishun that statement is an infinite loop by recursion therefore never gonna be true

@hjk101 that is since deep fucking thinking along the lines of, "if a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound?"

So, if a recursive loop never ends is it still true?

@sariel I don't know what you mean but I see his statement like this:
We have a linked list
Every node will have another node in it's link. Now we resolve the node with the open link by adding a new node with an open link...

This means that we can keep doing that but there will always by a node with an open link thus the statement "Every node will have another node in it's link" will never be true.

In the case of the libs the effect is even multiplied by 10

@hjk101 Then we best be doing lazy eval then.

Does Atwood's law apply to job applications as well? Haven't seen one written in Javascript, yet.

Addendum: it will probably be a to-do list

@hjk101 It's not self-referential because of the "eventually"; it describes an exponential growth that only evaluates to an unlimited number of libraries given unlimited time.

@lbfalvy Does that make it an: "Infinite WTF Machine"?

So you're saying Atwood's law is Murphy's law, right?

Pffft. This law is outdated. Here is the new one

@Wisecrack You're a wisecrack alright!
