My pet theory is that due to zero interest rate policy, too many startups were able to raise too much money and so they hired too many engineers that didn’t have anything really productive to do for years. So they kept reinventing wheels for a decade plus, each iteration more complex than the previous one.
- renegade-otter 2y agoThis is what I believe, and it's one of the bigger points I made when I wrote Death By a Thousand Microservices: https://renegadeotter.com/2023/09/10/death-by-a-thousand-microservices.html https://renegadeotter.com/2023/09/10/death-by-a-thousand-mic... It's related, I think. In a truly lean business environment, people would not have so much time mucking around with these frameworks. It actually looks like developers come up with zingy library and framework names and THEN they actually write them.
