As a junior/ mid-level dev in a non tech company you’re rarely consulted on decisions even though theh affect your workflow. Management buys an expensive 6 core MS SQL license for $40,000 because of the sales pitch and the fucker probably read on Google it says "Industry Standard" or something on the website when a MongoDB would’ve worked perfectly for the app's flexible data. You’re stuck wrestling complex SQL schemas instead of breezing through with NoSQL. It is like being given bulldozer when all you asked for was a shovel. all because someone in a suit didn’t ask you. It’s not just money it’s the time you waste on tools that don’t fit.
Then there’s the frustration of missing frameworks. Need Google Maps API for a delivery app’s live tracking. It’s just $2-$5 per 1,000 calls for something that would actually improve and make the app work better but nope they dont have the money even though they did when theh droped 50K on some useless shit. Want Material-UI for a slick UI ($60-$200/year)? Nope, you’re stuck with outdated Bootstrap. And instead of Vercel’s instant Next.js deploys. they forced me to build build a CI/CD pipeline from scratch with Jenkins all because they already bought it so they force me to use it. You’re forced to clean up their bad calls, no input allowed. That doesn't happen now that I am in software company but damn it used to be frustrating. . I have worked with many retards like this and have had many arguments with managers who just dont want to understand. A
