and because this attitude has become so prevalent people now pile shoddy abstraction on top of shoddy abstraction without interest or ability to reason about what that does down the stack.
The lesson from this isn't "you don't need to care about how things work" but invest some time into going one or two levels deeper than you "need" to. If you have no idea how things work under the hood the moment things tend to break or leak you're going to end up clueless.
