I always see all this terrible Java stuff, but the world hasn't ended and people who use Java all seem to say it's actually great for large enterprisy stuff. Are these FactoryFactoryFactories secretly some kind of busywork conspiracy to keep all the "Coding for the sake of coding" engineers busy doing mostly harmless nonsense rather than deciding to make their own assembly language based on JSON that gets interpreted with buggy regex? Like, I could work with a factoryfactoryfactory. It's just random nonsense, but there's not a lot of actually content. If someone writes their own PEG parser in Forth, and then embeds a handwritten forth interpreter, and then writes the application in their own language, I'll be completely lost. I'd rather deal with stupid boring enterprise code that does nothing than clever hacks.
