The systems available today (Temporal/Cadence/etc) definitely make a big mess of updating logic/code. This seems so obvious and yet I've not seen it done well -- excited to see where it goes!

Also my first time hearing of the Slemiel the painter algorithm (or at least first time hearing it described that way). Thanks for sharing

Thanks! Running systems with this pattern for the past few months, it has been so nice being able to cleanly upgrade instances.

The old Joel on Software blog has some gems.
