This is non-sensical. Abstractions are of course a good thing, just like code re-use, modularisation and not reinventing the wheel. But using centralised services in a p2p paradigm for decentralised apps is short sighted, missing the point and at worst dangerous.https://twitter.com/backus/status/1055890296049823745 …

I hope youre right. I do consider decentralisation, for censorship resistance, to be the objective. Assuming that property is fine but strggling to run a node shows the paradigm failing already, it will only be exarcerbated by ‘centralising for now until it works’.

Okay heres another way of looking at it. If it’s expensive today to run a node, why not just charge higher fees? Isnt using infura today just prematurely optimising for low fees?
-
Oh sorry, you had included prematurely cost saving in your earlier tweet already. In that case i think we agree on some things and are just debating the value of investing fast and breaking things versus nurturing the core properties of these systems.
