I see abstraction as the ultimate misconception of modern software engineering / development.
There's so much abstraction nowadays, software developers have not the slightest clue what they are doing anymore besides copypasting some framework.
We're basically at the point of developers competing in abstraction without any fundamental understanding. "I can do this with only two lines of code."
In terms of the article, those people getting hired, are not necessarily the ones especially good at abstraction. They just have experience in what others have abstracted for them, to use as a tool.
