A shockingly common approach lol. Like if you just buy every brand of turd polish you can find and apply them all, eventually you’ll have something other than a turd. Except all the turd polishes are just the same turd blend in different solvents, so you keep coating your original turd in new layers of turd solution and are then shocked when you wind up with a different, larger turd.

I think we’ll course correct at some point but I do feel bad for devs entering the field right now. They’re getting pressured by the industry to become familiar with these tools because knowing the hot new thing is supposed to be how you get a job, but you skip the “let’s figure out how to build something cool with the legos we have” part and move straight into the (IMO much more tedious) “this ball of spaghetti has a broken strand somewhere, lets poke around until we find it” part. And I think, now that I’ve missed it, I can appreciate how much struggling with the build step helps, with maintenance and future new builds.
