I love one-thing-well items of code instead of large (and thus non-secure) abstractions built upon other abstractions. Big fan of the K.I.S.S principle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle

I will point out that that reason this can be so concise is because of a set of large foundational abstractions.

Good point. I never thought of it that way. The modern PC is a marvel. On one hand it's a complex mess, on the other we can write poetry like that JS snippet, and it all works seamlessly (unless you're doing something weird).
