In March’s newsletter, I also reflect on why I love Factorio so much. If only our systems worked like it does.

And so, that’s why Factorio feels like catnip to system/protocol designers/lovers. It’s idealistic protocol design. It’s the way we wished protocols and APIs worked. Reliable, requiring little (to no) maintenance, and allows for easy foundational stacking/compounding. If only we could design systems like this!
