Everyone remembers WALL-E, the adorable future robot. But do you remember his original job? He turned trash into blocks to supposedly help the planet. Today I'm toying with a possible ancestor: The Clear Drop Soft Plastic Compactor.

📚 Creating thin abstractions is easy, until you’re trying to build them on top of functions that heavily rely on generics. Then it can quickly turn into a nightmare. I wrote about the tradeoffs of wrapping useQuery and why type inference makes this trickier than it looks.
