- Alberto Denia ∙ Sep 25, 2026 In the Middle Ages of coding (that is, before November 2025), we coder-stonemasons spent our days meticulously carving code-stone into finished pieces.
- Stone is unforgiving, and modifying it remained difficult even as better tools improved things over time.
- Small corrections were okay-ish (some chiseling here, some patching there), but larger ones meant demolition, scaffolding and a careful plan pinned to the wall.
