I feel like the complexity and the knowledge pulled back and hidden by the layers of abstraction still must reside in a mind to make things work. I am troubleshooting issues in code that I can’t write or fully read, I ask how it work, what it relies on, what it writes to, what it’s intended function. By the time we get through explaining the problem to me, we usually come up with a solution or understanding of why it doesn’t work and what needs to change. Some really smart folks writing this stuff but cannot keep it all or understand how these systems connect and work together. 300 lines of code can hit 10-20 different technologies and it made perfect sense when you wrote it, but when it’s broken…
