Anything that has a mobile app or a website is nowadays considered a tech startup. And for most of these apps it doesn’t matter too much whether the backend is written in Java or Go or .NET.
- TeMPOraL 9y agoMost of those apps could we written in Klik & Play, and it wouldn't make a difference. 90% of "tech" industry is the same old CRUDs run on the cloud, with only real difference made by the people drawing layouts in different colours. (For some reason though, each company has to have its own implementation of that same CRUD.)

They want to give engineers something to tinker with and build up their own frameworks and libraries. It's what makes working on CRUD after CRUD at least little bit more exciting. Otherwise engineers would be bored to death and would leave to different companies.
- TeMPOraL 9y agoI suppose it works for the youngest. Up to the point they eventually notice they're doing the same thing at each new place, with the primary novelty being what problems did the company inflict itself this time. Personally, I am bored to death with more and more iterations of the very same. It makes enjoying the job harder (and it also makes finding an interesting job harder too).
- MaxBarraclough 9y ago> For some reason though, each company has to have its own implementation of that same CRUD. Well, they're different CRUDs, no? Hacker News and Facebook both boil down to a database hooked up to a web-based front-end, but the glue in the middle isn't going to be the same.
