The code that lets me do something still sucks less than the code that doesn't
exist ;-)

Interesting read!
But really, I do not have an impression that the code in question deserves any
philosophical discussion.
There is a famous quote about premature optimization - could there be such a
thing as premature "infrastructurization"?  That is, trying to generalize
something to an infrastructure level when there is no compelling reason to do that.
I mean that the fact that we live these many years without not much of sensors
code, let alone sensors framework, is pretty telling.
