Premature abstraction is way more of a problem for me and premature optimization. Abstraction feels like enlightenment. Optimization feels like a chore.

agreed, to me its when the bridge actually needs crossing - its definitely a gradient of cost/benefit in a working system, but its always "everything should be made simple enough and not simpler" applied to abstractions
