Are "models" and "abstractions" the same thing? A recent post, `Mental Models: 349 Models Explained...` reminded me of the `Debits and Credits Model`, which works because of the Debit and Credits Formula or Accounting Equation (Assets = Equity + Liabilities). Minor leaks happening here and are usually stuffed into an account--so we don't have to eat lunch at our desks. The abstraction examples seem similar, but the discussion around leakage is interestingly different. For example @anonymous-panda suggests you sometimes want your abstraction to be leaky: _ "...leaky abstraction would be when you need to still distinguish the error type and TCP wouldn’t let you..."_ |
