Reading that article and the context of the quote, it appears that Carmack is using that statement to extol the benefits of functional programming styles, not commenting on abstraction.
- seanalltogether 6y agoTo me the quote speaks to the general problem of juggling state in your head when writing code. If an abstraction is an attempt to funnel a bunch of code through common logic, it can be hard to understand know what the state of your app will look like when someone else modifies that common logic.
