If an un-ergonomic API is a spike pit, then a tool wrapping it could be thought of as a partly-supported false floor above said trap:

sure, you /can/ cross safely, but a lot of the time, you step on the false tiles & then: ouch! spikes!

With the added bonus that you're now dealing with pain/complexity from the wrapper itself being in the middle of the problem/stacktrace; which could be thought of as the additional "fall damage" 🙃

Flushing Away The Bad Memories

A Notebook

I thought I'd heard the most absurd #crypto #arguments but today I heard a new one, comparing #blockchain/#DLT to cold #fusion:

"How about fusion technology? We aren't using that, does that mean that it doesn't deserve to have time and money put into it to see if we can make it work?"

Anybody read Satoshi's whitepaper and think, "WOW! This tech can give us unlimited clean energy, replace the fossil fuel industry and reverse global climate change!" ?

@Clownbase And unlike #blocksize, it doesn't fill up your house with pipes you'll never use, or cause horrible sewer problems when you can't pack any more in there. #badanalogies #usefulidiots #bcash
