I absolutely love this rant. It’s why as an application architect we get “it depends” drilled into every decision we make. But I’d also add one of my own observations. I believe U.S. based companies tend to look for scapegoats when building software, so they lean into packages and products. Outside the U.S., you see much more raw architecture and principle-based design, believing that if you craft a solution based on the actual needs of the business, your outcomes will be significantly better.
