Why not see the coin from the other side. Developers giving their experience when they are working sane ?
Many of these articles, I have seen authors quoting from their experience building large systems.
Moreover, as a system architect, you often have to analyze the requirements and choose a good stack for implementation. A young dev in a startup is biased against the architecture in one way, because they might be seeing Kafka on their resume as a shining star to greater riches.
- manish_gill 6y agoThe interesting part is that indeed, the people who write these articles are usually building large scale systems, writing books, newsletters and building companies for them, and then telling everyone else how they don't need it. Of course engineers have a tendency to over-engineer solutions. I don't think anyone is surprised by that. But this "oh you don't need it, I've used it at <bigcorp>, and you're not that" thinking just rubs me wrong. Especially when it's backed up by hollow arguments like the ones in this post.
