Immutability Changes Everything
Summary: Posits that immutable data—made affordable and necessary for distance coordination—fundamentally simplifies system design by enabling simpler synchronization, replication, and recovery primitives across the compute stack. Highlights how hardware (SSDs/HDDs) adopts immutability and surveys recurring trade-offs and design patterns when embracing immutable architectures. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
