AI coding tools have a consistent bias: when you ask for something simple, they hand back something structured. Interfaces for single implementations, factory functions that construct one object, config systems for values that never change. This episode names that bias the abstraction tax, explains why models produce it, and gives builders a way to tell the difference between abstraction that earns its keep and abstraction that is just pattern-matched ceremony.
