Wow. It's a bit ironic to comment about fixing mentality while you're blatantly ignoring a rational argument with nothing.

I concur with the same statement. Newer domain specific syntaxes and tools are increasing the dependencies and cognitive load to get things done. One would have to remember the yaml syntax, and version specific keywords for Kubernetes, Docker, Ansible and everything in the container world just to deploy a statically linked Go binary. That's where we've come to now. It is worth pondering whether we are increasingly moving towards "give me the lego bricks, and I don't care to know what it specifically does" attitude, and if it's good or bad.
