working at a certain faang made me realise even the most simplest trivial task can become endlessly complicated

most of it from my observation is people justifying their own roles, where the real value they bring is arguable imo



I'm the person who automates things. Before making things complicated, people would just copy paste crap from SO and hope it worked.

Then came linters and everyone hates me. But you know the codebase is slightly less buggy/shitty thanks to them.

The funniest thing to me is people thinking they don't need tests, linters, type checkers, because they're so good at it.
