OK - I'm an idiot. We know this. I'm developing a site (I'll write about it later... even though it might be up by the time this is published... DEAL WITH IT) and am using it as an opportunity to learn and use Kotlin! I've been wanting to use it…
I'd written up an almost complete post about my ToSystem abstraction... and it got deleted... About 4 months later, I'm re-writing it. Mostly because I have NO idea whast I wrote before. :) This ToSystem type had an evolution with my understanding of "objects" and "types" while…

As I've been doing with these; I like to add comments before I read what the book says. If these are principles, the principle itself should give us some information... some insight. I'm also coming back to this after a month or ... something? OK... What do I think of this.…
