100% agreed with this. And you're not even talking about all the resume-and-trend-based software development that goes on. I met a team that had put months into building a simple job queue. They had a combination of a zookeeper and kafka cluster, an nginx instance, an API process to receive the inbound HTTP put/get, a database writer reading the kafka topic, a database, etc. It was crazy. The lead just had no idea how to build something simple. I've seen tons of stuff like this. It is not unusual at all and really is about how immature the industry is.
