Formal-methods Memes

The fantasy: "I love coding with specifications!" Sure, buddy. We all do when they're clear, concise, and actually make sense. The reality: You get hit with a word salad of buzzwords that sound like someone threw a thesaurus at a whiteboard. Markdown? Mermaid? Notion? LEAN, DAFNY, TLA+, ALLOY, QUINT? At this point you're not coding anymore—you're deciphering ancient runes written by a product manager who took one Agile certification course and thinks they're inventing the next Facebook. Nothing says "well-defined requirements" like having to learn five different formal specification languages just to understand what button you're supposed to make clickable. The specs have specs at this point.
