Well developer costs only get more expensive over time whereas compute costs are generally going down, so “good enough” perf and easily maintainable code is probably more cost effective in the long run, also no one likes their egos burned!

zero-cost or not, my concern comes from engineers spending most of their time trying to solve programming by way of abstractions and patterns, rather than trying to solve the actual problem (that would give business value) by way of programming.

It's about the mental cost and the amount of distraction from the actual problem that trying to mix and match abstractions, patterns and principals introduces.

Sometimes Zero cost in release mode at runtime abstractions

If someone is using an abstraction, to write more general code, or to simply reduce the code they have to write, there are several ways that code could be compiled: 1) In a way that’s slower than if they coded without abstraction. 2) Identical 3) Faster Zero cost IS zero cost
