> After enough experience you realize that expressivity and convenience are antipatterns and don't actually simplify things but are harbingers of complexity, bugs, tech debt, even the downfall of organizations and products.

Suggesting that experience leads to jettisoning expressivity is at odds with my direct observations of experienced software engineers working in large teams. The more experience, the _better_ the engineer gets at picking the right level of abstraction to write code that can be maintained by others. Picking a single point on the abstraction spectrum (just above goto but not below it!) is far too rigid for the diversity of tasks that software engineers need to solve.
