This strikes a nerve with me. Lately my work has started taking apart our website and shifting functionality to 3rd party vendors in an effort to limit liability. We're going to end up with something far less versatile, uglier and ironically less secure than what we started with. My focus is shifting to a bunch of API stuff that I just don't find very rewarding.
