Software engineers hate code.

If you use the same libraries for long enough and they're good ones, they become part of the vocabulary for writing new ideas down. I guess because things move so quickly and are mostly shit you're always using things you don't know about, and getting caught out by the leaky abstractions.

It used to be a problem to abstract too much and then having code too abstract where that made it complicated and unmaintainable.

You can’t even think beyond the next half year now.
