Data modeling is just what epistemology looks like when you're using a computer, right?

No, most data models don't talk about the modeler and their reasons for their judgments, much less how those things change over time.

Most database systems and programming environments don't exactly help you. One reason why Datomic is so compelling. Did you ever use Zope/Plone back in the day?

Zope is still an inspiration for me. A hierarchical object filesystem with inbuilt versioning of objects. Objects were HTML templates, Python modules, application objects ("forum", "message" e.g.), and what have you.

The filesystem hierarchy worked like lexical scopes so if you wanted "footer.html" it would look up the ancestry until it found it.

that sounds awesome, I love stuff like that. We could have so many nice things if we weren't always locked into products!

Co-evolving some products and the foundation for building them (a la Englebart) is our real project. And evolving the right organization to chase such big ideas sustainably is the central challenge.

you've definitely identified some really hard problems, they even sound like they might be the right ones! I'm definitely interested to see how this goes for you!
