Ironic that this itself is an obvious slop site

Thank you :)

I love these! “Not Quite the Same” sounds a lot like “The Wrong Abstraction” from my list. It’s a really important point and I’m glad to see there are more articles about it!

Yep, I have the wrong abstraction on my list as well. There's a couple on ratfactor that really hit the same point home.

I think the lwn article on "the midlayer mistake" is somewhat the same point but to a different extreme, and in some ways libraries not frameworks too.

Thanks for the callout! I have much more experience with geography but you’re totally right. I’ll add a note

The US Navy still uses nomograms for chemistry control on nuclear reactors!

This is so cool. I would have loved this in college.

I’m implementing the Lox programming language (from Crafting Interpreters [0]) in Rust.
