What do you call the pattern where the programmer looks at YouTube.com while the project compiles? I want to do that more often. Or perhaps the Facade Pattern.

On the server side we often encapsulate libraries and vendor APIs in a class that hides the internal implementation and provides a more generic, application centric API to program against. It helps hide complexity and allows you to change implementation without as much of an impact on the client code. I'm glad to see some of this engineering rigor is moving to the client side of web development as well.
