Super post! I've been a pro front-end developer for almost three years and around 18 months in I started to realise that my job is to solve problems, not necessarily to write code. It's a fantastic way to look at things and helps tremendously with abstraction.

I can sometimes be guilty of over abstraction so it's reassuring to read that it's ok to just minimise the abstraction to satisfy likely outcomes.
