I used to love the physical cabinet I had in the fifties. The sound of it opening, the actual rustle of the paper under your fingers - these _were_ your files, with real letters written on real paper, not some representation of them in a wi

80% of the problems I had to deal with (in a live, real-life Clojure system that had to be maintained and supported, not a hobby-happy-slappy-project-thing) were caused by putting square pegs in a round hole. You're telling me I need t
