In any case, the developers now are not the developers that stood up the platform years ago, and in many of the recent developer videos they've put up, the developers have been pretty vocal—albeit in the kindest way possible—about how the original architecture was simply not cutting it and what they had to do to overcome that.As someone with an almost 25-year career as a software engineer working in various sizes of companies in many different industries, I can say that it is almost always that. This isn't to say that there's no such thing as an incompetent developer making poor decisions, of course, but that in the overwhelming majority of companies, developers are not going to have any iota of say as to what the company builds or doesn't build. You'll definitely see it more in the startup arena where often times there are developers in the founder's circle.</blockquote>
