Only if things are easy, we can use them in [[cluelessness]] mode. Often that does not mean we have to change the principles (for example the physical [[wikipedia::Centrifugal_force|forces]] remain unchanged), it is enough to understand them and create tools that exploit them in deeper ways. Good tools make everything easier.

The [[The_Future|epilogue]] also mentions one parallel between programming and winter skiing.

In 1997, when I first took off my skis and jumped on snowboard, it was really hard to really enjoy effect of [[wikipedia::Centrifugal_force|centrifugal force]] (one of the most significant reasons why people love to ride motorbikes, enjoy carousels, [[wikipedia::skiing|skiing]] or [[wikipedia::snowboarding|snowboarding]]) while downhill ride. At that pre-[[wikipedia::Carving|carving]] age, just few people managed to turn without sliding. The skis were too poor. At that time, it was much easier to practise that style while [[wikipedia::snowboarding|snowboarding]]:

In 1997, when I first took off my skis and jumped on snowboard, it was really hard to really enjoy effect of [[wikipedia::Centrifugal_force|centrifugal force]] while riding down the hill. Too bad, as the [[wikipedia::Centrifugal_force|force]] is one of the most significant reasons why people love to ride motorbikes, enjoy carousels, [[wikipedia::skiing|skiing]] or [[wikipedia::snowboarding|snowboarding]]. At that pre-[[wikipedia::Carve_turn|carving]] age, just few people managed to turn without [[wikipedia::Parallel_turn|sliding]]. The skis of that time were just too poor tools. At that time, it was much easier to practise that style while [[wikipedia::snowboarding|snowboarding]]:

The same parable applies to programming. Better languages, better coding practices, better libraries and better [[APIDesignPatterns|API Design Patterns]] make tough tasks, originally available to few chosen individuals, approachable by masses. Only if things are easy, we can use them in [[cluelessness]] mode. Often that does not mean we change the principles, we can just create better tools. Good tools help.

Do we need some changes to our programming languages, tools to build APIs more easily? Some changes would be nice, however they are not necessary. It is possible to write good APIs in C, in [[wikipedia::Java|Java]] even now. It is just not very [[Cluelessness|clueless]] right now. One needs to thing about the evolution issues related to API too much. As the [[The Future|Epilogue]] suggests, it would be really more simpler for all of us, if our systems were designed with evolution in mind. I hope this book will provoke discussion of how to do it.
