This article speaks a lot of truth. I found myself nodding along a lot. Software engineers in general tend to overcomplicate things (lots of resume driven development) and I see more of it in the developer tools space as people want to make their tools stand out by appearing “cool”. But in the real world people just want to go on and solve their business problems, and they suffer in silence.

“If you watch enough conference talks or read enough blog posts, it would appear there are many software teams out there with pristine coding standards, non-flaky unit tests, staging environments that reflect production environments, and/or smooth people processes for responding to incidents. Getting to this point just requires a strong directive from above and discipline across engineering teams.”
