> According to you what were the contributing factors? CTO too focussed on marketing, patting themselves on the back at offsites, and not paying attention the architecture, injudiciously delegating the responsibility by hiring the wrong type of senior Architect. One whose solution to everything is a paradigm/acronym/framework/buzzword/microservice and complexity reduction isn't in their DNA - they want to pad their resume instead. CTO remains happy if the team do buzzword things he/she hears that Big Tech do Focussing too much on tech and not the data/model is another one.
