Why is it that all these languages like PHP, but also typescript are becoming like impossible puzzles to read. I find these generics, types and other language features very often causing complex software architecture. I see so many collegues these days struggling in understanding codebases. You almost need a PHD brain to be a frontend web developer.

Like on of my sibling comment, I truly believe this is connected to some degree of social pressure.

People pointing fingers to "outdated" languages for not having some of the most trendy constructs.

The pipe operator is definitely one of the feature that create more ways to do the same thing while providing unclear benefit.

Never in my life I was in a situation like "with the pipe operator this I would have saved me hours of debugging/reading/creating code".
