Author provides a good example. Linear scripts are a horror to maintain but a project with too many abstractions are a horror to understand. I'd rather maintain the latter because I just need to understand the code once and figuring out abstraction layers is fun at the cost of my employer's dime. > the older version better Better in what aspect? Better to maintain? Better to debug? Better in solving the business needs? If the answer is all of them then congrats you have poorly done refactoring.
