BUT THEY CHECKED ALL THE BUZZWORDS
Serverless. Lambda. Cloud. Python. Microservices. Blahblah.
The number of companies I've contracted for that just try to hit all the buzzwords and don't actually architect for their need, nor simplicity and maintenance is ridiculous.
Example for one place I'm consulting for right now...the average simple change like enabling/disabling a button based on a required field in a form typically takes touching 10-14 different files.
Why? Because checkboxes need to be wrapped library components with their own NPM repo. They must also be super dynamic and flexible, so tons of inputs and outputs. They must also be themeable. Anywhere that uses them must be an isolated reusable form. Consumers of that form have logic to decide whether or not that form displays a certain way for the context. That component must also bubble up it's state and the form state to its parent. It's parent is a micro frontend (fuck micro frontends). That must communicate it's state to a composable parent. That parent must rely on stupid NgRx/Redux to dictate button state.
I hate it all. I feel like engineers these days are convoluted just to be convoluted.
