Yeah I see what you mean about conceptualization + long term memory. I’ve always felt the process of abstracting things higher and higher to be fulfilling. Not sure why. But, it is very easy to get lost and over engineer and in turn not adding any value besides more stress, solving no real problems.
IMO it isn't even that it's necessarily bad, there may very well be a tradeoff that helps you, it's just that the tradeoff may be different depending on who you are and what your brain can do.
