That's why it takes about 3x the effort and money to make a smallish CRUD app than it did 25 years ago. Too many eToys to distract decision-making. Warren Buffett said one of his top "skills" is not being afraid to say "no" to dubious investments and ideas. Nobody is saying "no" to our bloated web stacks. When I complain about bloat, I'm often given the reply, "but look at all the wonderful things you can potentially do in the future!" YAGNI, KISS, and DRY have been shot bloody dead.
