I guess this boils down the difference between what I call "l'art pour l'art" software engineering vs production-ready code providing a business functionality.

I guess this boils down the difference between what I call "l'art pour l'art" software engineering vs production-ready code providing a business functionality. The amount of hello world computing on HN is out of the roof, it seems nobody really cares about software lifetime or just never run into a situation when observability is a must. I think the reason for this that most businesses being ok with software being ridiculously expensive and shitty quality. The few places where software matters use Java/C++ because that works at a massive scale and these languages bring observability to the table that is required to maintain a service.
