I’m a software engineer at a large company you may not have heard of, but you almost certainly know at least one of their brands. Abstraction layers are all over the place; they’re not a symptom of open-source software, they’re a symptom of lots of modern software.

Describe the abstraction layers of a closed source project in the context of Microsoft

Ah yes, the open source dotnet as an example of closed source abstractions

You wanted an abstraction layer, I provided one.
You shared an open source project. Comprehension is a skill
