A few answers already but let me add one: Complex technologies favour seniors who are capable of understanding the complexity, over juniors who might struggle more. And it's seniors who make the decisions on what technology to use, so I think it's "rational" if they (even subconsciously) make choices which benefit them. They don't want to get replaced by cheaper juniors.
- plugin-baby 4y agoI’ve observed the opposite - less experienced devs tend to want to use more complicated and extensive/invasive tech, without understanding if it’s appropriate or what its limitations are.
- Chris_Newton 4y agoI concur. The best people often produce the simplest solutions. Or perhaps more accurately, they often produce solutions that correctly implement the essential complexity but with little accidental complexity added.
