Developers entering the industry often start by learning frameworks instead of languages. Similarly, senior developers are becoming increasingly reliant on these abstraction layers. And it is true, these layers enable us to build impressive software quickly (most of the time, though sometimes we end up fighting the framework).
However, this increased speed comes at a cost: additional complexity and a shrinking pool of deep expertise. By not understanding the layer beneath, we risk implementing it poorly at the layer above, wasting valuable CPU cycles. The maintenance of these abstractions is often left to a few individuals, creating potential bottlenecks and increasing the risk to the ecosystem's resilience and continuity.
Let's become Software Developers again!
