So apparently the term "patch" in software development comes from punched paper tape.
"Small corrections to the programmed sequence could be done by patching over portions of the paper tape and re-punching the holes in that section."

Fascinating video - biggest takeaway from preliminary look is the philosophy behind Ted Nelson's dissatisfaction with the direction we took computers.
Of all the things we could have done with human-computer interfaces, why did we decide to directly simulate paper and the "desktop"? We could have liberated ourselves from the physical desktops and offices, and instead we chose to accelerate.
It's hard for me to imagine alternative directions we could have gone - but maybe that's the case of the fish finding it difficult to imagine themselves outside of water.
Great review of @Vivaldi :
