> If your DevOps guy can deploy kubernetes into AWS managed with GitOps designed by GitHub copilot and ChatGPT in terraform in 40 minutes and manage without waking up in the middle of the night...that's fine.

So your bus factor is one ?

I think it's good to have articles like these. I see overzealous intelligent people over engineering things so often.

Just recently I saw a project where silly overgeneralization made development and testing way harder than it needed to be for MVP, it stretched development by a few months, by the time they launched they missed the investment window (last year with market contracting). If they launched garbage code that worked for MVP they would have had enough users and caught the next investment round to fund whatever refactoring they needed.
