There's a lot that's slightly off about this (though there is also some good material in here too, and clearly it's coming from a place of frustration based on real projects - perhaps, I suspect, without a huge amount of experience of the grass on the other side...), but one bit that particularly struck me was: When a client wants to build a web app, they understand they need to have a good design, build the pretty HTML and CSS, with a server in the backend, and some dev-op to keep the app running. Really? Because I'd be glad to introduce you to many of my clients who absolutely do not understand any of that; in fact I had a conversation with a client just two days ago where I explained, patiently and not for the first time, what it was one of my backend developers actually did on a day-to-day basis, and why that sometimes didn't translate into something visible he could actually click on in his browser. Most of my clients really just want a complete solution (often involving design) and they don't know or care at all about HTML, CSS, AWS, or Postgres.
