focusing on technical trivialities is a symptom of what type of experience the developers have and how the current workplace is organized

It comes from development echo chambers (including this one, sorry HN), where people tend to discuss The Right Way even if they see it not working at their own job, cause right ways feel good. New/young developers absorb it and bring it to their workplace. I did that too. It took decades to beat this shit out of myself. Now when I hear someone talking about true ways of a qualified professional developer I just remember that the business will probably pivot a couple of times before they deliver an mvp that is neither v or p.
