I can relate so much to this. I've been doing this since 2010, so over a decade. Just yesterday, I needed a function that consumed some data from an endpoint, and did one of two things: - Open a window with a PDF in so the user can print. - Focus a god damn input field in a form. That was it. My manager, who isn't even a "front-end" guy, took my PR. Then changed it to some overly complex mess with an entire separate file. Huge comments. Overly built for a hundred different use cases and did it "the react" way. We're literately opening up a new window or focusing an input. I tried to push back but it went nowhere. He's right and I'm wrong. Never mind my 10+ years in the industry. He's the manager.
