Premature compositionally in the root of all evil, or something like that. I've looking for better ways to do document.createElement and addEventListener ever since the days of DHTML. Anyone looked into diagram theory already? The only productivity gain I've found is being fluent enough in your stack of choice to do the work to solve a problem and nothing more. And sure, spend the rest of your time researching diagram theory, but try to be honest about why you do it.

Premature compositionality? If something didn't need to be decomposed, it can be recomposed.
As in function composition, a great idea from math but one that is hard to use for anything that isn't a functions with domain and range in R or N.
