> It’s important to keep in mind that pretty much all the techniques you’re too „stupid“ for all aren’t necessities for small projects, but rather being able to manage complexity (or workload) at scale

Most of the techniques people use to manage complexity at scale are too stupid to actually do that. Their only benefit is that following them prevents people from doing something even worse.

It also prevents people from doing anything better. Instead we dogmatically follow patterns with mountains of useless boilerplate and unnecessary abstraction, but somehow it's considered less complex.

I hate software sometimes.
