I agree. And that stuff is soul destroying. I have done it, and right now I work in a place a little smaller, but we get so much done without all the cruft. And we get it done better. I spend much more time writing code now (*) than at the big corps, and we do a much better job because we can iterate.
(*) Well, now claude spends a lot of time writing code, I spend a lot of time designing and steering it. Claude can write remarkably sophisticated code with the correct steering.*
This is how big corporations look like, not some SV startups.
