   there is no good storage structure for sufficiently complex content, everything is a compromise and you just have to invest in understanding the choices you’re making

     @eaton I'm trying to set up my blog, and I have that slightly panicky feeling I get every time I need to set up a new and different programming environment: all these choices to make that I understand imperfectly, and the defaults of every tool I touch are slightly off-kilter from what I want.

     @yvonnezlam we should make a podcast about this phenomenon, that would surely make the problem easier

     @c0dec0dec0de YUP. I've taken to calling that stuff "doctrine" — it's not strategy, it's not tactical implementation stuff, but it's the surrounding "view of reality" that shapes the other decisions and it's almost always the first to vanish when teams roll over or projects age

     @eaton I am going to try to document effectively the trade-offs of my new project (as I understand them at the time). Otherwise, I (let alone a third party) will never know why I did anything.

     Capturing it is SUCH an effective way to make future decisions better
