alt Hacker NewsThe irony of naming this Nietszche's Debugger when he, Nietszche, directly attacks the Socratic dialectic in the Twilight.
I was thinking Adorno's negative dialectics would be a better, if gloomy, fit; debugging is never-ending.
If you're in a positive or hopeful mood, or still a junior dev, Hegel's determinate negation offers reconciliation and an ending. This is a phase; dear junior devs you too will eventually share the Adornian resignation.

Not only that. Citing "What doesn't kill you make me stronger" in this context is very ironic as Nietzsche was talking for himself. He took that from Ralph Waldo Emerson while stripping the moral aspect of it
I hope to get laid off soon, so I will improve on it :-)

Probably why Michael Sugrue opined that Friedrich Nietzsche was a Philologist and not a Philosopher.
Indeed, my first thought upon seeing the premise explained was "I would have chosen a different philosopher".
