I think this article is partly true, at least in the OO world we know today.
I dealt with a number of OO based commercial softwares in the past 10 years that used abstractions that were at best annoying, at worse made the internals obscure up to a point where you wondered if these were added only to insure some job security to the "experienced" anarchitects that created them. Their implementations did not do anything to make things clearer either. Frameworks are also part of the problem. They tend to inflate up to a point were there initial intent is not even obvious these days. Remember why Spring came to life ? Look at it today... it tries to be everything. These days I stay away from frameworks and I my work life is far more simple. My personal rule is that if you create or use abstractions not related to your business model, you should question yourself seriously if you need them. The "bottom stuff", Clojure current abstractions coupled with a few others, message queues, configuration management, ... is a toolbox allowing you to grab the moon. It's more than enough to do a lot of milleage.
