Why do so many people expect everything to be perfect all the time? Why does it always seem to be the ones that aren't doing anything to help the situation that complain the loudest about it?
Yes, we've got a lot of tools that solve a lot of problems, most of which an individual probably doesn't need. Sounds pretty awesome to me, actually. It means we're experimenting and making progress.
Nobody is forced to use those tools, despite what so many people claim. If you don't want to work in the same way as other developers at that company, don't accept the job. Find somewhere else. Be a freelancer.
On the other hand, if you do manage to find that magical unicorn of a job where everything is perfect, take it! I've never seen it, and I doubt it exists, but it'd be awesome if it does.
If you try to fix the problem, you'll end up in the same situation as all the people you're screaming at: Yet another tool that fixes all kinds of problems, but nobody other than yourself will actually need that exact set of problems fixed. (And you probably don't, either.)
