It seems web development devolves more and more from "use the right tool for the job" and KISS (not that it ever fully was either) to "use all the tools you can find for the job" and focus on process instead of product. While I appreciate that a lot of things have gotten more straight forward since I started mid 2000s, the cynic in me can't help but think that the primary reason for many of those tools to exist is to sell SaaS subscriptions, consultancy services, courses and certifications, not to solve a real world users problem. I wonder what the impact of this on the field is going to be long term. The barrier of entry has gotten insanely high with all the tools you supposedly need to know. Yes of course you can still learn it the "old fashioned" way, but that's not what you will find/perceive when you look how to get started. What I see quite a bit in interviews for juniors devs is, that they know a whole lot of different tools and technologies, but often have a very shallow understanding how to solve non tutorial problems with them. Which is not per se a problem, it's something you learn on the job. But I often see a unwillingness to dig deeper, get a more profound understanding instead of immediately trying to solve a problem in one tool by adding yet another. Steadily increasing system complexity and making it harder to maintain.
