I feel like each week I compliment your posts and it seems artificial, except it's not. They're really f*cking good. They're so accessible to non-software engineers and I'm learning more precise language around concepts I instinctively understand, but couldn't properly articulate. I feel like Product Managers should have to read this!!!! My instinct is initially to be like dude too much technical jargon, but when I read the context, I realize it's precision.
Thanks, Ben. Some of these will have to get down in the weeds eventually, but I try hard to keep them useful to engineers, without making them inaccessible to folks in adjacent roles, like PMs and leadership teams. This week in particular requires some investment of effort by the reader, so I'm gratified that you took the time and found value in it.
