The same way that nothing can be built anymore in America
Every framework is like a regulation, something which solves an ostensible problem but builds up a rot of inefficiency that is not visible. The more frameworks, layers upon layers needed to make an application, the more it becomes slow, small errors are ignored, abstractions obfuscate actual functionality.
Exactly! abstraction is the new bureaucracy.
Each layer promises efficiency but adds hidden coordination cost. Ten years ago, a web app meant a framework and a database. Now it’s React → Electron → Chromium → Docker → Kubernetes → managed DB → API gateway - six layers deep to print “Hello, world.”
Every abstraction hides just enough detail to make debugging impossible. We’ve traded control for convenience, and now no one owns the full stack - just their slice of the slowdown.
