Moldable Development with Glamorous Toolkit

Moldable development is a programming practice through which we construct custom tools for every single development problem we face. We do it for business problems. We do it for technical problems. It helps us reason about our systems without reading code, and with it, it fundamentally changes how we relate to our systems too.

Take-aways

Software engineering is primarily a decision making activity. Software should be explainable when we need it. Any boundary in software is arbitrary. There is no single dominant representation of anything in software. Once a human deems a representation as meaningful, it is the responsibility of the system to carry it forward. Software architecture is an emergent property.
