I think a very important point from this article got lost in this discussion; many engineers aren't aligned with the business and the end users, but instead often needlessly chase new stacks, over engineer the code base, migrate to micro services (prematurely), rewrite an existing codebase in a new hot language instead of just refactoring, needless throwing React/Redux at the problem etc etc. So many times these efforts give zero value to the code base or the product. This type of behaviour seems to go unnoticed since business doesn't understand engineering and has to trust the engineering managers.
