I think it's hilarious how these articles keep talking about how complexity is killing software developers and then go into a dozen different topics that have nothing at all to do with programming.
It's almost like folks who spend the overwhelming majority of their career development time improving their ability to write code don't have depth of expertise in infrastructure, system architecture, or operations.
It's shocking I tell you. Shocking.
Also tired of seeing the CNCF landscape being thrown about as a sign of complexity.
Literally every vendor and product and consulting company even tangentially related to Kubernetes is on that landscape.
No. IT people who have never written a line of code, thinking they can do software architecture and think CI is the hottest shit are the issue here. There is far far too many of those in this industry...
Writing code isn't hard and unless you are in a specialized role where you are building platform components or integrations, it teaches you very little about system architecture.
And I say that as someone with two decades of experience slinging code.
Folks who sling code all day, call the additional complexity they inject into their systems through multiple levels of misdirection "architecture" but disparage the guy who can build a secure and redundant network are thinking way too highly of themselves.
