The Wrong Abstraction — Sandi Metz

So in this post I’m going to reject the commonly accepted wisdom and look at why specializing is hard, why it fails and what an alternative path looks like. The answer lies in developing strong opinions and a distinctive vibe.

All non-trivial abstractions, to some degree, are leaky.

The idea that we can create good output by doing things The Right Way or The Cool Wayis a lie , and this lie shifts our focus far away from the real, ambiguous task of trying to create something good.
