The One About the Wrong Abstraction - Runtime Rundown

What this episode covers

What did we talk about In this episode, we’re talking about “The Wrong Abstraction" by Sandi Metz. We go against years of programming best practices and propose copy-pasting code….sometimes. Along the way, we mention "AHA Programming" by Kent Dodds and "The Wet Codebase" by Dan Abramov, and generally rail against speculative generality. If you listen long enough, you’ll hear Joe mouth-coding something called a “bloom filter” and Evan makes an offer you can’t refuse.
