#abstractions — Public Fediverse posts

Ah, the "hidden" costs of #abstractions, because apparently, no one ever realized that making things easier could come with a downside...🤦‍♂️ Welcome to the world of #computing, where "focusing on the bigger picture" is just code for "forgetting how stuff actually works"—but hey, at least we have more #memory now to store all that ignorance! 🧠💾

Skriv om med färre abstraktioner!
Poängen med att skriva om kod ska vara att skala bort abstraktioner - att få en ny version som bara löser det som faktiskt behöver lösas, på det sätt det enklast löses.

[#Abstractions - Episode 5] Immortelles

Invisibles l'été, elles fleurissent dès l'automne
- au pied des arbres, à la surface des rochers,
étincelantes de couleurs, gorgées d'humidité.
Telles sont les mousses, omniprésentes et éternelles.

[#Abstractions - Episode 2] #CO2 stripes

From the #earth, they slowly stretch towards the #sky, absorbing, through their growth and throughout their existence, part of our #fossil carbon dioxide #emissions trapped in the #atmosphere. So many natural #carbon #sinks that we need to preserve in order to mitigate #climate #change

Recently I've had a conversation with my Tech Lead about what kind a #programmer I am.
He gave me only 2 options:

1. One who builds big forms and #abstractions first, and then distinguish particular #implementations
2. One who creates parts, then builds huge blocks from them, performing #refactoring in order to #clean the #code

I am the 3rd one - who build an application as the data flow comes.
And what a programmer are you?
