<title>Abstraction — David Larlet</title>
<meta name="description" content="Take a moment and think about this super power: if you write vanilla HTML, CSS, and JS, all you have to do is put that code in a web browser and it runs. Edit a file, refresh the page, you’ve got a feedback cycle. As soon as you introduce tooling, as soon as you introduce an abstraction not native to the browser, you may have to invent the universe for a feedback cycle. No longer writing CSS and instead writing Sass? Now you need a development server with a build process to watch your files and compile your changes just to develop and test your project. You’ve just added a giant, blocking dependency for your project to work. And if you can’t get that dependency working, your project is dead in the water until you can—both now and in the future.">

<p>J’ai déjà beaucoup trop parlé du sujet et en même temps cela a été et pourrait encore être mon quotidien si je n’avais pas choisi une certaine forme d’ascétisme technologique (n’ayons pas peur des mots, <a href="http://aswemay.fr/co/040011.html">ataraxie numérique</a> (<a href="/david/cache/2021/1357452f72e8fab727df874cbc2582d4/">cache</a>) si on veut être vraiment pédant). Évaluer chaque outil pour son usage actuel et futur, sa maintenance, sa migration, ses <em>drama</em> (coucou <a href="https://hotwired.dev/">Hotwire</a>), son abandon pour la dernière mode. J’apprends hier qu’un produit est à l’arrêt pour X mois car il faut passer d’un <em>framework</em> JS à un autre. Tristesse d’un domaine où une telle pratique est courante. Bien éloignée d’un Web <a href="https://wimvanderbauwhede.github.io/articles/frugal-computing/">frugal</a> (<a href="/david/cache/2021/710f8cdebd7560223ebd378f9cbe7822/">cache</a>), il y a un excellent <a href="http://viznut.fi/texts-en/permacomputing_update_2021.html">résumé avec plein de liens ici</a> (<a href="/david/cache/2021/0f791a9509f762f1a1a36b6ca2333230/">cache</a>) si le sujet vous intéresse.</p>
<p>Je suis admiratif des personnes faisant de <a href="https://zserge.com/posts/awfice/">petits outils conviviaux</a> (<a href="/david/cache/2021/3ac474db4dc65c1d25e99cb30655ff12/">cache</a>) qui permettent d’apprendre et de jouer avec la conception de l’outil en lui-même. Si je devais refaire de l’<a href="/david/pro/enseignement/">enseignement technique</a>, j’emprunterais probablement cette voie. À l’opposé de la camionnette à outils qu’il faut savoir dorénavant maîtriser, en opposition à la direction qu’un marché nous pousse à emprunter.</p>
<p>Est-ce que l’on peut considérer l’accumulation de dette technique comme étant un <em>bullshit job</em>&#8239;?</p>
