Using a Black Box in a Minimally Technical Way in Programming

There's a constant tension between trying to make a maximally general, like little tool that can always be used in all these little places on the one hand and making a black box system. The former is more flexible, but maybe you have to stack a whole bunch of those tools together to solve a problem. And then the latter is less flexible, but it's more convenient. So there is that tension here also, like the, the more fine grained you make the notes, uh, you, you lose cohesion.
