24. Most Surprising App on Home Screen: Operator ! “It’s a custom-designed, one-of-a-kind bespoke app I had built for my assistant and I to communicate and collaborate through.”

28. "THE LAW OF LEAKY ABSTRACTIONS"
29. "THE LAW OF LEAKY ABSTRACTIONS"
30. But I'd also argue that virtually all good programming abstractions are failed abstractions. I don't think I've ever used one that didn't leak like a sieve. But I think that's an awfully architecture astronaut way of looking at things. Jeff Atwood Discourse
31. Instead, let's ask ourselves a more pragmatic question: ! "Does this abstraction make our code at least a little easier to write? To understand? To troubleshoot? Are we better off with this abstraction than we were without it?" Jeff Atwood Discourse
32. It's our job as modern programmers not to abandon abstractions due to these deficiencies, but to embrace the useful elements of them, to adapt the working parts and construct ever so slightly less leaky and broken abstractions over time. Jeff Atwood Discourse
