Computing As We Know It

A pretty intriguing post. true, subskription models are changing n thus are the eKonomiKs behind s/w. Also to Quote

The fact that we feel compelled to regression test binaries against the entire stack of middleware, OS, and firmware versions is a massive breakage of abstraction. We write in high-level languages with reasonably clean interface (API) abstractions, but collapse the entire layered cake when we go to binaries. Put it on the list of great failures of computer science.
now, this is something i have never thought about. abstraKtion in binnaries too?!?!?!
