No stress. Definitely less than most people I have met who spend their life doing this kind of over architected nonsense. But he, if you say it's easy (it is definitely not though; and it does go spectacularly wrong even at big companies where no one knows why, because complex) then do whatever: I am guessing your income depends on complexity for clients/your employer/devops gigs while mine depends on things being simple and never (again; it's been 30 years) breaking. Things don't go bad: there is enough 'bounce' here, we just refuse to spend money or time there as we do not need it. I rather work on features than stuff that should be invisible in the first place.

My income depends on no such thing, if anything it depends on reducing complexity where it doesn't provide value, but it's telling that that's the only place your mind goes. And because of that, I think there's not much value in continuing this conversation.
