Fizz Buzz: Enterprise Edition
I've often wondered - is it the language that spawns this or the mindset of the developer (or both?)<p>I see this primarily in Java or .NET shops - massive layer upon layer, code generation, factories, classes, etc. - when a simple architecture would be best. Why do we get these insane things to begin with? What's going on?<p>It feels sort of like premature scaling (what if we have millions of programmers - we need more abstractions!) combined with misuse/misapplication of design patterns.<p>You'll never* see stuff like this in Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, Python projects, etc. I'm curious how one goes from a simple, elegant program to over-engineered monstrosities.<p>* Hardly ever. I haven't in > 7 years.
