> Introducing PaymentIntents and PaymentMethods

Stripe will soon run out of names for their ever growing levels of abstractions.

I loved Stripe from the inception until about a year or two ago when their developers discovered the joy of AI. Now I dread every new Stripe SDK update, because it means more mental tax to me, more work for exactly zero value - all for the satisfaction of their architects.

It looks developer-friendly in the beginning (and it is), but once you cave in to the lure, you'll be hit with a flow of SDK updates with incredible type gymnastics.
