> ...essentially keeping on-prem 2000's philosophy and revamp it as microservices). On top of that add vendeta-developers in Asia (I'm in a small offshoot team in Europe) handing down half-baked frameworks (not-invented-here and reinventing the wheel are strong) with minimal documentation and a culture based on meetings instead of documenting things. Ouch, this hits close to home. I can identify with this type of culture. If you can get another job, get out ASAP and keep your sanity. You'll slowly go mad as you realise that every best practice and "normal" way of working in software dev/IT (e.g. documentation and not just vague verbal descriptions for everything), is done exactly backwards. The cultural gap is just too big to bridge, and you cannot fix that.
