Very odd. Usually engineers love abstraction where I am coming from. The simpler the solution, better it usually is. Helps understanding the whole system, making it less complex. Simplicity causes less bugs.

Of course, you can do too much abstraction.

Have you never run into Matlab code with a few hundred global variables mutating frequently? :)

Okay. I was referreing into software engineers, not data engineers :-)

Ah, I was referring to general engineers, like chemical or mech engineers :)
