Unholy things:


  • Excessive whitespace design (hard on the eyes)
  • Javascript bloat (slow)
  • Loading screens (slow)
  • Pop ups (interruptions)
  • Tracking, analytics (Breaks the golden rule. Perpetuates a rat race economy)(computers that take advantage of your behavior as you use them)
  • Maze programs or websites
  • Memory obfuscation (paging)
  • Excessive dependencies / libraries (npm / node.js comes to mind)
  • Dependence on an online/cloud service
  • Having a program fail and not notify the user (failing silently)
  • Security (a demonistic self perpetuating industry)(endless cat and mouse chase)
  • Predatory computing (see tracking).
  • Malware (doesn't exist in an honest world)
