Flowcharts can be wonderful thinking and communication devices.

Sometimes, they also become extravagant tools someone you’ve never shaken hands with will try to lobotomize you with. A way to dummy-proof a system in which you’re considered the dummy. Computer programs but made for people. And when people don’t act like computers, “our process is perfect!” think the flowchart architects; “it must be the people!” but then if you remove the people, all you’re left with is a complicated flowchart. A useless piece of software neither man nor machine will run.
