I disagree with this, but I understand where it's coming from. I think you have a form of whiplash from things like: - Novices overusing the new shiny. - Java/C++/etc Jr programmers overusing design patterns. - Perl programmers solving everything with regexes. - Small startups with GraphQL, or any other large enterprise tool. - Metaprogramming, Maco's, Dependency injection, Recursion, etc when a simpler solution is a better fit.

IMHO, a "best codebase" will be just a bit more advanced than I am, with good resources for me to grok it. I want to be able to learn from it. I also don't want to be so far out of my depth that I can't make a reasonable contribution.

A pinch of salt can really liven up a dish. Not every dish needs it, but when used appropriately it's almost magic in how much difference it can make.

A lot of salt always make everything disgusting.

Huh? Salt is one of the most important foundational elements of basically all cooking.
