The self imposed complexity of brittle aws microservices/lambda stringed together is definitely the fault of developers. There are a handful of companies that need (and can afford!) architecture like that (maybe, Uber is backpeddling on it) but the vast majority of the world is shooting themselves in the foot and that is on developers and resume driven dev. Nothing to do with faster iterations, although that is probably how it is sold to management. The developer should know better.
- ChuckNorris89 6y agoThe resume driven development is a consequence of poor hiring practices that discriminate candidates on the language/framework hype instead of hiring based on experience, know-how and potential. Our company is looking for an experienced dev with Node and AWS experience. What's that, you have 15 years of industry experience but it's all on-prem Java/PHP? Too bad. NEXT!
- r_c_a_d 6y agoSpot on. I always used to get a certain company local to me flagged up by recruiters when I was job hunting. Every time they rejected my resume without interview because it did not have "Spring" on it. Years later I worked at this place as a 3rd party contractor. What little bit of Spring I needed to know I picked up in the first few days. Their codebase and methodology was very poor and they were drowning because they only had one or two experienced people... but all the people they had had "Spring" on their resumes.
