I can understand accounting for different environments. That's unfortunately unavoidable. But I found web framework developers in particular have a weird tendency of piling up ungodly amounts of abstractions just for the sake of it.
It's kind of a cultural problem in modern software development in general imo. It's not limited to web dev by any means, but it's particularly bad there because JS lends itself to it quite well.
I ❤️ abstraction. I'm an abstractionpilled layercel. I'm in my abstracting era.
Ah that's fine. There's nothing wrong with abstraction, until it becomes too much.
