If you're a relic then I'm one too.
The trends I blame are 1) computing power has become so crazy cheap these days that nobody cares about overengineering or even doing engineering at all, 2) lower quality of software developers; back in the day, it took deep interest (since software wasn't as lucrative a job) and considerable skill (since computers were very limited) to enter the software industry and succeed, and 3) fetishization of the latest software development fads. These trends are too large to successfully be bucked but, hey, there are worse places to be than being paid well to watch other people flush their own money down the drain.
- ThrowAwayOG 7y ago> fetishization of the latest software development fads Fetisization is a term I will likely be using more now. > watch other people flush their own money down the drain I'm not concerned with a lack of cost efficiency, unless my team's job (and income) security is risked due to a failure to deliver in a timely fashion. I also tire of arguing about why I won't deploy a 4 node K8S cluster and am therefore not a team player. > there are worse places to be than being paid well Definitely a good counter point to the positive.
