First time I’ve ever agreed with the NYT

if you’re building a booking system you may have the concept of an appointment you want to support rescheduling so you simply update the timestamp but you lose a bunch of information, for example if you want to understand how many times a customer has rescheduled in reality rescheduling is the act of marking an appointment as canceled and making a new appointment, this is a stronger model so if you think purely in terms of the product you end up with something less correct vs if you think about what’s actually going on simplified example

- package.json - tsconfig.json - .eslintrc - .prettierrc - .babel.config.js (implied child .babelrc) - .webpack.config.js - jest.config.js - .env - docker-compose.yml - gitlab-ci.yml - .npmrc - .editorconfig i can keep going... wtf we doing? we should be ashamed of ourselves
