Well said. And when you put it that way (we have not figured out how to retain control over the computer in the face of these abstractions), I almost laughed out loud because of how true it is. Some of the worst, most confusing codebases I have touched are full of abstractions that require me to have 5 tabs open at once in my IDE to understand what is going on. The type of codebase that ends up being a sales pitch for multi-monitor setups.
