But you realize that before they mock it, they first have to build a data lake for it.
wonder if they did it to increase their job security. "If I make something that only I can understand, my job is guaranteed, and if it's complicated the longer I can stay employed"
plenty of bad code out there built with more popular tools and patterns that only few people understand =)
"so I wrote our backend using brainfuck and we've been using it for a year now, you really think you can fire me?"
And then when they need help fixing the mess they can call in a consultant wielding Fowlers latest book, or go to a bunch of new monolithichitecture conferences where people put up slides full of memes mocking microservices.
Truly we are blessed to live in an era of such efficient job creation.
