I have a similar list I like to share, had a few from Carl's list, will probably add a few from it.

Excellent list.

The last article links here, which I enjoyed:

Is there a video presentation to go along with the slides that you know of?

I love these! “Not Quite the Same” sounds a lot like “The Wrong Abstraction” from my list. It’s a really important point and I’m glad to see there are more articles about it!

Yep, I have the wrong abstraction on my list as well. There's a couple on ratfactor that really hit the same point home.

I think the lwn article on "the midlayer mistake" is somewhat the same point but to a different extreme, and in some ways libraries not frameworks too.
