This is something ive noticed at my own job. They decided to create this flagship product using a completely exprimental Microsoft stack. How experimental? No intellisense support on the pages, no live/auto reload, no linters/parsers for 50% of the code base, json files everywhere. Just a complete mess. Now im just getting frustrated, because the linters say one thing, and then the code base blows up. But more importantly, this comes off as a massive case of complete overkill. What was wrong with a REST API and divorced front end? You know, the industry standard since 10 years ago. But no, lets go and reinvent the wheel with some insane product line.

I once interviewed with Microsoft, and they were laughing at the fact someone was using this product line in a production setting. Like they thought i had just said a bad joke or something.

I'm not in coding, but in my industry most engineers under the age of about 50 are fairly worthless. Creativity is dead, service is given when convenient, billing amounts are outrageous, and whatever the client wants is nothing more than a passing afterthought.

I feel like for all the mess ups i created by now, they would have fired me or something. But no, the head count seems more important than the work. Its so demoralizing, i just want them to pay me severance, and theyre so adamant on NOT firing me
