All Abstractions Are the Same

I somewhat agree with the premise here. If you go out into space every piece of land looks the same. So what the article is saying is even true at a physical level. Then there is Category Theory, which studies this more formally.

At the ground level though, you need the details of the abstraction to deal with the specifics of implementing it. Interesting thought anyway.

I disagree. They are all not the same. Do they have similar qualities, characteristics? Of course. But the scenarios are where we see the differences.

Thinking that they are all the same will only get you so far. Maybe it’s far enough to create value. Maybe it’s not. Your call.
