Most of the solutions to the "developer experience gap" have already been built inside massive tech companies like Google. Smaller companies have their own rendition of this. Which is to say, we have a specific stack on a specific cloud provider and we use a specific developer workflow with a specific language and framework. And because of this we're all highly productive because we don't have to think about the tooling, we don't argue over design decisions or new things and when we see limitations we start to investigate the next dependency. Pragmatically companies form opinions which differ very much to the "developers need choice" mantra of the industry itself. Choice is the enemy of productivity. Google maintained a single platform called Borg that ran self contained binaries and required you to use the Google-3; c++, java or python. Internally the majority of systems looked the same and everything was consumed with RPC apis using Stubby that's now open source as gRPC. Explicit decisions and doing less makes us all more productive. The iPhone did that for mobile. Cloud is waiting for an industry standard.
