Ask HN: Is it just me, or is software development crazy

It really sucks interviewing for developer jobs when your opinions are ahead of the curve. I spent the better part of the past decade+ pushing for more microservice approaches. Breaking things much more apart than they had been. Embracing event driven approaches. Now, computing power has caught up with the scale that most systems actually need. It's no longer necessary to scale an app to hundreds of servers. We have servers that can run hundreds of simultaneous threads. We have languages like rust that give incredible performance with a low overhead. It's time to take a half a step back and think about the complexity we are creating and the cost those systems will be to maintain a decade down the line. Make things that are easier to reason with. Code that is easy to reason with and replace is the code that will run for decades. I'd it just me, or is anyone else struggling to advocate for balance? Is it just me, as I'm in the middle of a job search as everything is shifting where I feel like I've progressed past?
