| Yes but we don't call humans abstractions. A software engineer isn't an abstraction over code. |

| No, but depending on your governance structure, we have software engineers abstract over domains. And then we draw boxes and arrows around the works of your colleagues without looking inside the box. |

| ▲ | threatofrain 5 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Very true, my brain is stuck in scaling out from small teams. In that world, you can't help but accept plenty of bus factor, and once you get to enough people making sure everyone understands each others' domains is a bit too much. | |
