Constraints

Constraints can be both helpful and unforgiving.

If you build something mathematical and you constrain yourself to…

y = mx + b

…then don’t come crying to me when you want to have some curve and you can only make a straight line.

Alternately, it is constraint when you’re in this very strong steel shark cage and you have talking sharks swimming around you complaining, “dammit, we can’t get you!”

A constraint is a choice, and choice is the death of all other possibilities.
