You almost always end up carrying two versions of the same system in your head at the same time.
The first is the clean design you actually care about,
โThe way the data should be shaped,
โThe way the pieces should talk to each other,
โThe way the whole thing should feel when someone reads it later.
And the other is the awkward persistent shape the chain forces you to use. Storage layouts, serialization, with the careful mapping between what you meant and what the chain can actually keep.
You spend a surprising amount of energy keeping those two versions from drifting too far apart.
At first it feels like normal work. But After a while it becomes an invisible background noise. And in few years it turns into the reason systems become hard to extend, hard to hand over, and hard to trust once the people who built them have moved on.
So Now let's take few minutes to talk about something happening on @_gnoland.
