Yup. Spent more than a decade doing it. Got so frustrated that I started a company to try abstract it all away for everyone else. It's called M3O https://m3o.co

Everyone ends up building the same thing over and over. A platform with APIs either built in house or an integration to external public APIs. If we reuse code, why not APIs. I should say, I've been a sysadmin, SRE, software engineer, open source creator, maintainer, founder and CEO. Worked at Google, bootstrapped startups, VC funded companies, etc. My general feeling, the cloud is too complex and I'm tired on waiting for others to fix it.
