+[Chris Krycho (@chriskrycho)](https://github.com/chriskrycho) wrote a [blog post](https://v5.chriskrycho.com/journal/ember-octane-is-a-new-mental-model/) on how Ember Octane is not a 1:1 translation from Ember Classic but rather a whole new way of thinking and designing your code. This new programming model means that some patterns that you’re used to using in the Classic paradigm simply do not work in the new paradigm.

+Chris goes through a couple examples of code that was fundamentally coupled to Ember Classic idioms such as the [Evented API](https://api.emberjs.com/ember/release/classes/Evented) and usage of `didReceiveAttrs`.
