trina 💽 crashes u 💽: unless you do game dev, then everything is a lookup table.

Beware the beautiful abstractions that subtly replace the requirements of the software with their own preservation

(I’m not subskeeting anybody, this is self reflection)

Do have an example (even an invented one)? This is not something I've come across, but maybe I didn't notice it.

Almost any time you say “Everything is a _” you’re in danger territory. “Everything is a list” or “a tree” or “a stream” tends to lead to a lot of work spent preserving that idea

unless you do game dev, then everything is a lookup table.

Can confirm
