1:48 - What the heck is abstraction?
- I like to think of it as sweeping under the rug
- Vue and React devs should be very familiar with the concept
4:44 - When to abstract
- When things are getting too heavy
- Personal preference
- Some people have an arbitrary line limit
7:25 - When not to abstract
- When savings are minimal
- When it just adds a pointless layer
9:40 - Personal code abstractions vs public
- My personal focus is on API simplicity and baked-in smart defaults
- More specific
- Public APIs need to be more flexible or at least for some components
