The Reality of Abstraction: A Software Engineering Dilemma

Описание: Abstraction helps manage complexity in software - until it doesn't.
This video explains what abstraction really is, why it exists, and the hidden costs that show up in real-world codebases.

You’ll learn:
• What abstraction really means in software engineering
• The difference between good abstraction and bad abstraction
• Why abstractions leak and what leaky abstractions actually are
• How abstraction affects performance, debugging, and maintainability
• When abstraction improves code — and when duplication is cheaper
• Why abstraction trades simplicity for flexibility
• How over-abstraction makes code harder to understand
• Why all abstractions eventually fail in predictable ways

If you care about clean code, software design principles, system design,
or writing maintainable and scalable software, this video will give you
a mental model you can actually use.


This video is for:
software engineers, backend developers, frontend developers,
computer science students, system designers, and anyone learning
software architecture, object-oriented design, or clean architecture.
