      Which means I picked the right abstraction. It could have been significantly harder if I had picked the wrong one.

      There's also an argument that I should have done the simplest thing and gone from there, that's 100% valid too.

      I've been going with the simplest thing approach because I tend to overgeneralize, sometimes the "wrong" way.

      yeah, I think you can learn a lot from that failure case as well

      Indeed. I only have one minor complaint: the scoring system makes it difficult for most people to win a single point.

      I think this is just the benefit of experience, but experienced devs also need to remember not to overabstract

      Abstractions are great, but only when widely applicable *and* understandable. Learning design/use space first is key.

      over time, you get better at identifying no-brainers.

      which can change the work/value equation

      it's contextual, but I find that deep skepticism of basic abstractions fades over time.

          Example that comes to mind is modeling a contiguous address space using a binary tree.

          wasn't always obvious to me when/why that might be a good idea, but experience and understanding of domain led there.

          Agreed that it's contextual. eg Haskell typeclasses are generalized, clean abstractions yet take time to appreciate.

          when people don't shift perspectives as context change, they're teaching jr. devs to be skeptical of abstraction
