There is no money for the employees in consolidation and boring tech.
Outside of the US, career driven development (CDD) might be needed to get your salary to a level you can say ... have a family. Or for some ... afford rent. Therefore my salary is dependent on me not understanding development Zen!
Then with an army of CDDs there is a tide that is hard to swim against.
Making it worse is how we interview people and any heroics you did at the last job are worth 0c but ability to talk about GraphQL and advanced TS and AWS are worth, dunno, $20k.
