> The last thing you want to do is to throw a million of abstraction layers, frameworks, libraries, precompilers, transpilers, build steps, validation hooks, style checkers etc. into the mix. Each of them makes your project more complex by a certain factor. And not only do they add up - they multiply!

It's worse if your team uses a house-built framework that's too complex for its own good. There's a whole team devoted to the care and feeding of a framework that could be replaced with source code templates or just a clear architecture document with a "cookbook" style set of accompanying documents. God forbid you try to use something else; you'll get inundated with "But that's the company standard!" style job protection complaints.
