you are not alone.

i am growing very tired and weary of all these abstractions. i use them because, well, i want people i work for and esteem to succeed. but all this feels like non-sense from engineers at these big techs trying to justify what they did for their performance review.

folks, we are not actually solving much!

i feel like we should start over at this point with everything we learned. but that's just too much to ask because many have invested so much in all this already.
