I'm almost speechless to the accurate adherence of the content of this blog post with my current feelings, stemming from my latest work experience.
The hardest part of my job has become the soul crushing endeavour of having to keep up with dysfunctional business organisms filled with every kind of clueless engineers and their day to day crap.
I have to attend "api architecture" meetings where people have zero clue of what domain modeling is, and only ever ask "what should backend/frontend do?" or "array or object for this field?", and push layers of spaghetti over what is a super intricate mess of a codebase, despite the company being super young and giving engineers actually a lot of freedom.
Damn, during our latest "tech team meetup" event a "senior" backend dev just gave a talk about how he used ChatGpt4 to help him write code to parse xml in Scala, "since regex is suboptimal for this case". Nobody except for a jr dev asked him if he ever heard about external deps and their magical ability of helping people avoid reinventing the wheel.
This is not to bash on unskilled people in the industry, it's just that they're the product of a capitalistic machine that works so well, and so much on a plane that's completely detached from reality, that work doesn't even matter anymore. It just feel like we're all forced to turn into NPCs at some point.
