If you don’t generalize your interface at all, you lose flexibility. If you generalize too far you reinvent the database. Extremes usually aren’t the answer.

People think that intimacy is about sex. But intimacy is about truth. When you realize you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to them, when you stand in front of them and their response is “you’re safe with me” - that’s intimacy.

"A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over, beginning with a working simple system." -- John Gall 1/5

XML: Structured txt format with rich schema validation supoort. Cool. JSON: Nah, angle brackets are stressful. Curly brackets are where it’s at. And schema? Meh. If you really insist. YAML: White space and willpower!
