I do certainly wonder if the ever-increasing levels of complexity in the layers of abstraction will backfire in some way soon.
It seems the trend has accelerated recently.
- bonesss 8y agoLuckily there's an easy fix for that: adding more layers abstraction :D
- mmt 8y agoI'll bet you have an "easy" fix for Social Security, too :) Joking aside, I certainly understand the benefits of abstraction. As someone always points out in any discussion about ORMs, for example, abstractions are leaky. Whenever one has to learn about the inner workings of what the abstraction is hiding, some of that ease evaporates.
