> Hope as an industry someday we can get back to simplicity The services upon services with no idea what underlying layers are doing and pretty much enterprises collaborating to get stuff 'out the door' means we may not go back to simplicity easily. At this point I am only finding work who are basically middleware and rarely doing something unique even there. Basically getting contracts and servicing a business need is all that I see when I try to find jobs these days. Initially I was doing something quite unique in networking but now that the client needs have changed its basically just another product that is servicing clients which big companies like Arista can't do for them as there are custom requirements.
