The state of the industry sometimes deeply sadden me.
Creating a stack that complex just to render Static Content... Seriously ?
I'm fairly confident that only the author of this project can do something with the codebase.
It must be an absolute mess between Zeplin , Storybook , Apollo , GraphQL , Next, Yeoman etc...
Just why ?
Can't Airbnb invest in one good CMS and tooling solution ? Don't they have a CTO that define the company tech governance and tech stack ?
Isn't building landing page for "Luxury Destination" one of their core businesses ?
Do each Airbnb engineer create their own stack for a tiny part of the website ?
It just buggers me to see something like this and remind me of their 'React Native Fiasco' where they decided to use React Native but their mobile engineers didn't like JS , so the engineers of each platform just wrote the app using binding to use Java or Objective-C.
Sometimes I really tell myself that working for a FAANGS must be awesome, but then this type of content pops up and it just remind me I should either stay at my current job or create my own business to avoid all this.
