It’s the interest rate. When rates are low, devs are paid to build complexity, new frameworks, tools, languages. If the interest rate stays low other devs will get paid to play around with those new frameworks, build more complexity on top and so on.
SQL, html, C … get things done. When rates go up, these non-bs technologies are incentivized. Paying devs to create new frameworks/apps/products just so that those devs are happy and don’t go work for the competition is what results in complexity for complexity sake.
Those who hitch their success to the latest greatest shiney new bs tech are the same who used to sneer at those who didn’t cover their webpages in flash animation. They make the mistake of thinking the current way is the best way. It’s not old vs young, these two mindsets exist across different stages of the lifespan. Generally speaking, older people have more data and will therefore spot the patterns/cycles a bit easier.
