Reading articles like this feels like being in a different reality.

I don't work like this, I don't want to work like this and maybe most importantly I don't want to work with somebody who works like this.

Also I am scared that any library that I am using through the myriad of dependencies is written like this.

On the other hand... if I look at this as some alternate universe where I don't need to directly or indirectly touch any of this... I am happy that it works for these people? I guess? Just keep it away from me

Imagine a future where creating software is about the designing the UX, overseeing the architecture and quality assurance. Implementation is farmed out.

But the architecture is the important (and hard) part!!! Not the UX!

Does it matter if the computer can do it? Can you calculate the cube root of 4?

Users see and care about the UX; the product. They only notice the engineering when it goes wrong.

A customer doesn't care about architecture. They want a good UX.

The customer wants a working product!
