avoid abstractions ....


AVOID many abstractions in mainline scenario APIs.



KRZYSZTOF CWALINA



Abstractions are almost always necessary, but too many abstractions indicate over-engineered systems. Framework designers should be careful to design for customers, not for their own intellectual pleasure.



JEFF PROSISE



A design with too many abstractions can impact performance, too. I once worked with a customer who re-engineered its product to incorporate a heavily OO design. They modeled everything as a class and ended up with some ridiculously deeply nested object hierarchies. Part of the intent of the redesign was to improve performance, but the “improved” software ran four times slower than the original!



VANCE MORRISON



Anyone who has had the “pleasure” of debugging through the C++ STL libraries knows that abstraction is a double-edged sword. Too much abstraction and code gets very difficult to understand, because you have to remember what all the abstract names really mean in your scenario. Going overboard with generics or inheritance are common symptoms that you may have over generalized.



CHRIS SELLS



It’s often said that any problem in computer science can be solved by adding a layer of abstraction. Unfortunately, problems of developer education are often caused by them.

What to do?

Problem:
you have site designed in a dark theme, saying dark background, white font.
By default google toolbar autocomplete cracks html for inputs or selects containg "email" "name" "address" and other buzzwords and changes background to yellow. As a result when visitor fills form, he enters text as white on yellow and can not easy validate his input
