I find myself in a kind of middle term, tending towards over-abstraction.. Ah! And we should not forget those who are under-abstractors for their own work, but, when it comes to judge other people's work, they quickly transform themselves into over-abstractors.. These are the worst!!<br /><br />Congrats for the article!<br />André LimaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5359546512544809971.post-3091511931771563912014-12-08T07:31:06.350-08:002014-12-08T07:31:06.350-08:00I definitely do both.

I over-abstract when deciding what the public API should look like, and I under-abstract when I implement it. :)<br /><br />Overall, though, I think I would tend to lean towards under-abstracting.<br /><br />As far as coworkers go, in my current position there's a lot of under-abstractors (with a couple notable exceptions); but with a previous employer there was a lot of over-abstraction (with a few exceptions). So my experience has been that they're pretty balanced.Stephen Clearyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13192873941258824056noreply@blogger.com
