That's mostly how I matured as a developer: I find myself abstracting less and writing less code today than I did 10 years ago, but I'm more productive today, my code is cheaper to maintain and has fewer bugs. Sometimes, I will literally copy paste a small amount of logic just to avoid making a future reader of this code to keep hunting around where the business logic is actually implemented. "It's right here, my dear future reader!".

Or maybe I was just a really bad programmer 10 years go :)
