Only a couple? This is some peoples entire job, we can refer to them as "enterprise architecture".

Lived experience is a decade ago, and you once saw Kafka solve someone's queuing problem so now everyone's api interface has to run over Kafka. Even synchronous ones.

Let me rephrase that. I've seen a few cases where it became a major issue, rather than just being a fact.

Often people are smart enough to not ask questions they don't want the answer to. If the three people trusted to handle a problem all are in agreement as to how, then the peanut gallery may just be confounding issues in order to pad resumes or to feel important and involved.
