I fully relate with this article. Especially this point: > Why in the world has this idiotic trend of abstracting everything away by layers upon layers of complexity gained such a strong foothold in the industry? Has everyone except the "unix greybeards" gone mad!? The complexity adds brittleness and security vulnerabilities to software. Essentially every popular tool these days is over-complicated. Also, the fact that the industry has evolved into some kind of monolithic hivemind has had the effect of forcing everyone into these brittle, over-complicated technologies and has censored much of the nuanced dialog around software design in favor of blunt dogma.
