OP's position doesn't work very well the more you generalize. I had OP's philosophy when all I was doing was low level C code. It doesn't work very well when you are switching between yaml, python, c++, c#, typescript all with different libraries, coding standards, and naming conventions. By the time you no longer need the reference to remember, the reference changes.

For me, it works with 5+ languages I write (production) code in at least every month...

I don't know how it is for others.

Also, I really try to minimize complexity and not ending up in the javascript npm dependency spaghetti..

Good code is simple and obvious....
