I share the opinion of the author of this article. However this resort at the end of this article might be an illusion, the backend also suffers from complexity, you have package managers there as well (Composer if you use PHP), complex frameworks like Symfony/Laravel, cumbersome ORMs and for deployments you need Docker, Kubernetes, specific cloud tools, Elastic Search. It's also very complex these days. Personally I no longer enjoy modern web development at all. There is also the hyve-mind, if you dissent you get mocked, ridiculed and you encounter all kinds of aggression. It's all very depressing. I still love to code, so I started creating my own programming language Citrine (for which I got death threats by the way) - so that project is kind of my escape where I can still do things the way I want it. To be honest I don't know what happened to web development. At a certain point in time, I had the impression the web community consisted mainly of bright, intelligent and most of all, open-minded people. Today, it looks all enterprisey and there is a lot of peer pressure, maybe even dogma to conform to the norm. So, sorry for the personal notes here, but I guess I can relate to the story of the author very much. I personally think it's time for me to close this chapter and look for another line of work, because coding in an enterprise situation is just not something I want to do with the rest of my life as well. I would like to thank the author for this article, it's good to know I am not the only one who feels this way.
