Someone has worked too much on corporate Java Codebases.

I feel your pain. Everything is so convoluted that 7 layers down you ask yourself why you didn't learn anything useful...

All it does is generate soup. Some of which may taste good.

There is no thinking, no matter what marketing tells you.

He said he will take his business elsewhere then!

The question I ask myself to this day is why they began switching to React. It made no sense at all for me. Like it was a working product, so why would you switch?

I get that new developers might be more familiar with React, but then again, as soon as the trade-offs were apparent, I would've pulled the plug.

But they said: Buckle up, everyone, let's ruin our product!

Exactly. But given all the slop, not even just AI slop, I wonder how Microsoft can still be in business.
