Quote by Rob Pike

The bigger the interface, the weaker the abstraction.

The bigger the interface, the weaker the abstraction.

Summary

This quote is referring to the relationship between the size of an interface and the strength of abstraction in a system. An interface is a boundary or medium through which different components of a system interact. In software development, an interface allows different software components to communicate with each other. The quote suggests that as the size of the interface grows, the strength of abstraction weakens. This means that when a system becomes too complex with a large interface, it becomes more challenging to maintain a clear and concise abstraction, which can lead to difficulties in understanding, implementing, and maintaining the system.
