Most of what I write about here has something to do with software: systems, architecture, tools, failures, and the occasional attempt to understand why something that looked perfectly stable suddenly isn’t.
This one is different.
Over the past few months, several of the things I considered stable parts of my life have either disappeared or started to move at roughly the same time. Not all of them are technical problems. In fact, most of them cannot be fixed with a better abstraction, another test, or a carefully planned migration.
Still, I noticed that I kept thinking about what was happening in the language I know best: systems, dependencies, redundancy, cascading failures, architecture and rebuilding.
So this is not really a software article.
