Financialization and mediocre developers. I haven't worked with too many people I could actually trust to even emit logs correctly, let alone develop a tool to collect and aggregate them.

I've also been told, time and again, in no uncertain terms, to "buy as much as possible". We've reached the logical conclusion of SaaS-everything: every company just cobbles together expensive, overcomplicated computers from other expensive, overcomplicated computer providers, resulting in expensive, bloated systems that barely work.

Buying everything and SaaSing the whole place up is a true killjoy. I giggle with joy whenever I am allowed to write code. And then a support request comes in that I get assigned to, “thing in SaaS doesn’t work please fix”. And all you have to debug that SaaS is their UI. The checkbox in question is on, you notice, so it can only be a bug on their side. Off to contacting support as the only available avenue. Incredibly boring.

Yay I get to write code! Oh it’s Pulumi code that wraps terraform to deploy Elastic Search and configure networking to allow logs from a kubernetes we deployed the same way.
