This is a very good comment, one of the best i've read here.

> I would say that "good engineers" or "good coders" found that balance in abstraction to move fast but make abstractions not overkill.

i think this is spot on and could be where the concept of "llm's have no taste" comes from. There is art (and science) in determining the right level of abstraction that satisfies the user story in a performant way while leaving the door open for extension.

going back to just meeting the spec vs the art of perfect abstraction is a bitter pill to swallow and I imagine removes a lot of the joy some found in software development.
