Ask HN: Can you help me find an old essay on composition?

Hey team,

There was this great blog post I remember, where the author talked about composition vs configuration for abstraction.

He starts with abstracting a `button`, and then goes deeper: I think he said "what if we want to make a switch button".

He then talked about how by creating composable bits, it lets the programmer break through and use different levels of abstraction.

Does anyone remember the post I am talking about? I think the author was either a game designer or made stuff on windows. His blog looked old school.

Would love to find this post — it’s one of my favorites and I wanted to share it with a few folks
