The two hardest problems in Computer Science are

1. Human communication
2. Getting people in tech to believe that human communication is important

The third and fourth hardest problems would be

3. Making all software free.
4. Getting people to understand that all software must be free.

"Hey, we made a technology that communicates exactly the way I think humans do, and does things without argument or discussion, let's bet the entire industry on it and try to force it into every facet of modern civilization so it becomes necessary."

"That's really not how people communicate, though."

"See, this is the problem with human communication. I asked the thing and it said it was a great idea. You know what? You're fired."

@ocratato
The hardest problems in human communication are cache invalidation and naming things
