Hiring consultants has really gone into the toilet. Senior Data Engineers who don't know what upsert is. Senior Developers who can't answer simple questions about a stack they have "3 years experience" in. Senior AWS Architects who stumble on simple architecture questions and insist on switching an 80K qps stack to API Gateway. I presume because the real seniors these consulting firms depended on are working for FANNG/MAMMA? Of course all of these firms want 2 weeks of "exploration" up front...
