This song is about how over time programming becomes more and more abstract with layers of frameworks on frameworks built on top of each other.  This leads to folks building applications but having very little idea of how they actually work.

This is an idea that has been on my mind for a long time and this rap is rooted in a blog post I wrote about this idea seven years ago: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/abstracting-fundamentals-adam-wolkov/

Not much has changed since then (except maybe AI to abstract it further)...

I work at LinkedIn and like to make raps about engineering, leadership, and related topics.
