Yeah, I work for one of these companies. Some senior executive quotes some stupid thing Jeff Bezos said about everything being an API and is like "This! We need to do this!"

Nevermind the fact that we're not AWS and our business has zero overlap with theirs. Nevermind that this mindset turns every service we design into a bloated, unmaintainable nightmare. And, forget the fact that our software division is completely unprofitable due to the checks notes shitty business decisions made by senior management.

No no, we're going to somehow solve this by latching onto whatever buzzword is all the rage right. Turns out having an MBA doesn't mean you know shit about running a business.

That sounds disgusting. This kind of thing is why I never move jobs.
