#Walrus @Walrus 🦭/acc
I used to treat storage like a bolt-on. Ship execution first... "add persistence' later.
Walrus makes that mindset feel risky. Blobs have a lifecycle. Ownership moves. Storage terms force you to name how long data is supposed to live before you write code that quietly depends on it forever somewhat.
That constraint becomes visible up early in architecture. You stop taking the easy shortcut where data "probably stays there", because on Walrus you are explicitly buying time... not pretending permanence. Contracts, caches, indexing everything gets designed with an expiry mindset instead of wishful thinking.
Less quiet coupling. Less future panic though.
And fewer "why is this still here?" surprises.
