"That's Not an Abstraction, That's Just a Layer of Indirection"

The problem with layers of indirection is that they add cognitive overhead. They’re often justified under the guise of flexibility or modularity, but in practice, they rarely end up delivering those benefits.

Really liked this post by Fernando Hurtado Cardenas. It is the kind of post I wished I had written myself. 🙂
