Sure, so who defines which parts are highly technical? We can all be in agreement that things like cryptography should use well known and vetted libraries, whereas something like a REST API interface can be a little more relaxed with adherence to a standard, but where do we draw the line?

I do not want to live in a world where my code must conform to a Java Bean factory class. I align more with the skunkworks style of development.

I once work on contract on a project where everything was abstracted to hell and back. We spent 90% of our time trying to figure out where references pointed to in the code. Never again.

It’s a difficult question and I’m not qualified to answer it as an amateur tbh.
