I am increasingly of the opinion that migration paths are a broken concept, and instead we must make small modules with adaptable interfaces
@aredridel so you think the connections between modules are not themselves subject to abstraction?

@wycats Not easily, no. They're easily among the more durable -- or destructive to change. -
@aredridel I think this is where we disagree then. -
@wycats Perhaps. What do you mean by abstraction? -
@aredridel I mean that if large numbers of people are using a bunch of modules together in the same way, we should abstract that. -
@wycats That sounds like a good case for aggregation, rather than abstraction. Reify that relationship, solidify it. -
@aredridel if you have an aggregation that is managed programmatically, most people would call it an abstraction. -
@wycats Managed programatically? -
@aredridel if a lot of people are using a particular grouping linked in the same way, hopefully I don't need to type it manually. - 1 more reply
