    # Bitreich Manifesto

    ## Introduction

    We  live  surrounded by complex software which receives new versions and
    updates day after day. RAM and CPU consumption never  reduce,  they  in‐
    crease.  Software  still  provides the same features from years ago, but
    everything looks new.  This is called »advance« in the new speak of pro‐
    prietary software development.

    This has to change!

    ## Suckless

    Suckless failed.

    ## Consumerism

    Consumerism is the ability of persons to lose their skill in thinking on
    their own, producing things, applying logical and practical ways of  be‐
    having.  This disease of consumerism is striking the devices and comput‐
    ers we humans produced to make them not scale in the possibilities  they
    could  be  used  for.  Computers can do things consumers cannot want and
    imagine before they use the computer for something. The  market  economy
    of demand and supply does simply not work here.

    ## UNIX Principles

    In  the  beginning of the development of software principles were intro‐
    duced how to create software which can be reused in  ways  the  original
    developers  never  imagined.  Small  utilities are combined using simple
    pipes, speaking to eachother, just doing one task well.

    ## Dawn Of Ugliness

    By  not  applying this methodolgy to its extreme, by trying to force new
    features of computers into the UNIX principles, binary blobs evolved into
    a  complexity  no  young programmer can understand. They are forced into
    the industry due to »life events«, where they are  degrading  to  robots
    which  only  apply  what  they learned at programming school (e.g. life,
    university ...).  This circle is producing  even  bigger  binary  blobs.
    Nowadays  this  evolved  into shipping whole operating systems in images
    which you run separately.

    This has to end!

    ## Bitreich

    We  form  a movement to improve our daily software life. Software has to
    not misbehave, it has to follow our rules, it has to be reusable, it has
    to be easily maintainable, it has to provide its recompilable source and
    it has to be easily understandable.

    ### Bitreich Principles

    #### KISP – Keep It Simple Perfect

    Software needs to do one thing well / perfect.

    #### Commandline Interfaces

    Always  add a commandline interface to your software. Graphical User In‐
    terfaces are for sissies. Pipes are welcome.

    #### When Possible Use GPLv3

    The  signs  of MIT‐appearance in the community is based on the circle of
    complexity introduced into the minds of libre  software  programmers  by
    their  oppressors transferring money to their bank accounts every month.
    Your software is used in war machines to kill people and  the  companies
    will never  give back. So enforce GPLv3, it’s needed.

    #### Users Are Programmers

    Software should be written for programmers, which means the code is the
    documentation, it should be easy readable, low abstraction levels should be
    used (OOP sucks most of the times) and a simple Makefile to build everything
    needs to be present.

    #### Bugreports Are Patches

    Bugtrackers  are  obsolete.  Whenever  you find a bug, fix it. The other
    principles make it possible for you to send a patch instead of a report.

    #### Applications Can Be Done

    When  a  project  solves  a problem, keep it done and declare it so. New
    problems are solved by different projects.

    #### Freedom Of Language

    The  software  world  is spammed with new revolutionary programming lan‐
    guages every month. Choose whatever you need to solve your problem,  but
    keep  to  the above mentioned principles. Most new programming languages
    solve a non‐problem the principles of bitreich solve.

    #### Inevitability Of Change

    These principles can change, based on the consent of the bitreich elite.
