I wonder if "growing pains" fully captures what's going on here. It might just be natural for people to grab more layers and tools when the run into problems. Everyone loves to demo how the new thing works with "just a simple YAML file."
Honestly everyone would be better off doing everything in code (python, bash, go, rust, c it doesn't matter) directly. They're easy to debug, flexible, and everyone already knows how to work with them.
- impjohn 4y agoI suppose grabbing more layers and tools instead of thinking deeply about why you're having the problem and resolving it at its core is the growing pain I'm referring to. On the other hand perhaps the industry is being ever-increasingly led by a younger workforce who already came into this ecosystem, and there's less chance of a full retro/introspective about why things are they way they are.
