>Rather than designing a solution to address only our driving use cases, step back and ask yourself: can we design a solution as a composition of smaller, more general features, that could be used together to address a broader set of use cases?

Analogy: when painting a scene, instead of buying every specific color you need, build a palette of a few colors and mix them together as you paint to create the colors you need.

In Excel, VLOOKUP is the overfly feature and INDEX(MATCH…) is the higher level abstraction using the lower level primitives
