Thanks for taking the time to stop by! I try to post every few weeks on topics ranging from niche aspects of computer programming to organizational and business challenges. By all means subscribe to the RSS feed!

    I think the dichotomy between frameworks and libraries appears from the observation that both concepts are good at what they do when they are designed with the opposite principle in mind, to which they are implemented themselves. In programming, everything sits between two poles. Pure and impure, centralized and distributed, limiting and freeing. Without limits, there is no experience of freedom. Keeping you in line…
