Fun to implement, sucky to maintain! Like event-sourcing.

Why would event sourcing be sucky to maintain?

My last job was to build a system to replace something that used to require lots of maintenance. Event sourcing made most of this maintenance trivial, and the remaining cases were made easier to explain and handle.

Event sourcing things doesn't mean you need to use a complex frp framework, a simple pg table and a state machine in your language of choice is usually enough.

In this case the maintainer is the builder, that is always comfortable.
