I'm asking myself the same thing!

As a web developer, I'm more focused on good UX and a clear UI than the technology I use to get there; but these days it seems the tools are getting way too complicated to use in most situations. Then again it might be that I'm old and I miss the good old days when we could "Keep It Super Simple"...

It's honestly super depressing to see what could be possible if we didn't have the rules of 29 systems standing in our way. By the time we learn one tool, we are on to the next.

Even Leetcode interviews are easier than any of this stuff. I routinely pass leetcode/java interviews every month on average, but when I get in the actual job I struggle to be productive learning all their different tools that seemingly have no overlap from my previous job.
