I wish there were some way to avoid being subject to resume driven development when I'm on the internet. Alas, it's not to be, because instead of taking a step back and asking "do we need this" we get webdevs asking "how can I force fit the latest shiny bauble into my professional CV." And we end up with react graphQL node AWS kubernetes docker rube goldberg machines pumping tens of millions of bytes of data and billions of bytes of markup and JavaScript through Kafka all to serve up news text.

Everybody's job looks easy when you don't have the full list of requirements and a deadline in front of you. What looks like resume-padding may in fact be the best way to fulfill a requirement you didn't know they had.
