I once worked at a place with abstractions I found to be beautifully perfect. The people that wrote the base framework had done similar things two or so times previously and got it right the third time. You couldn’t write slow or hard to operate code there without really trying hard.

Good abstraction does one single thing and does it well. Bad abstraction starts from the premise of becoming a dumping ground. If that is the case, the best and ideal scenario is splitting the abstraction into many ones to make the job better.
