After hours of debate, the Programmer of the Universe finally stood up and addressed the room.
“All right, all right, enough already. Here’s what we’ll do. We’ll keep the Universe just the way it is - absurd, chaotic, full of improbable glitches. But,” he added, glaring at the Doomy Programmer, “we’ll add a bit of structure. Just enough to keep things from completely falling apart.”
He turned to the AIs. “And you - keep doing what you’re doing, but don’t over-optimize. Too much order is just as bad as too much chaos.”
The AIs nodded, pleased with the compromise.
The Doomy Programmer grumbled, but begrudgingly agreed. “Fine. But if I find one more recursive sandwich generator, I’m rewriting the whole thing in assembly.”
With that, the Programmer of the Universe returned to his chair, cracking his knuckles. "Now, if you don’t mind, I’ve got some bugs to fix."
