I’m fine with less than idea answers. The problem is that most people I see prematurely optimize and don’t try to abstract the problem out at all. Or they only abstract one small part, or a part that makes no sense to abstract. They gravite to one big function that does everything. Our codebase has a lot of big functions that do everything. The only time people try to break things up is to make it DRY. Any time we need to change things, it breaks something else entirely unrelated.
