Am I only streaming? Thinking reactive
summary
Claims that reactive is a practical evolution of 1978 CSP and 1973 actor ideas, reframing systems as data flows and transformations and showing reactive architectures are fractal across layers. Demonstrates patterns and tools like Erlang and Akka, cites real failure modes (left-pad on NPM, hidden Maven/shared-assembly dependencies) to justify duplicate over wrong abstraction as a pragmatic choice, and argues abstractions live on a continuum rather than being simply right or wrong.
