Lots of hype about event sourcing and CQRS, usually in combination. 99% won't need it. Has the potential to ruin your team and even company unless you have a well-above-average engineering team.

This. Why do people try unproven tech in a business? A well-above-average engineering team isn't going to go for this. I would leave before this shit show even got started. The problem should be begging for this pattern if it fits. Like those mentioning the use of ES for high speed stock trading, for example.

One of my unwritten requirements for any system is being able to drop in inexperienced devs for maintenance...after I leave. Most people are likely to shoot themselves in the foot by not understanding (or even being aware of) database isolation levels much less grokking an event pipeline.
