I'm with you. I understand the critique, but experience has shown me "boring" is more maintainable, and at some point even "clever" tools stop being worth the effort. Besides, eventually scale pushes tech to roll their own, or rewrite/augment tools.
I dislike using boring as a measure of sufficiency. It makes me wonder if those drawn to the clever solutions carry a "I know better than you" perspective, the kind of dogmatic optimism that tanked SVB.
