There is a lot of angst and wisdom in all of the other replies. My take is that, like many things of late, developers do not use judgement and assume "if a little is good a lot is better" without doing the analysis of what is really needed. I was doing "Dependency Injection" (hate the term, it should actually be "Dependency Abstraction") before the term was ever coined simply because I needed a little bit of it to make certain things more general.
As to why it seems simpler these days perhaps it is because the tooling (such as Unity, et al) have made it simpler to use and when you're less concerned about how the gas ignites to drive the piston it is easier to see the utility of the engine.
But that simpler tooling comes at a price, namely we don't always know what is going on under the hood, which can be both a good thing and a bad thing depending on what we're doing and the issues being faced.

I'm leaving within the hour for a weeklong trip to Marathon, FL for a much needed vacation. Of course the laptop is going with me just in case something needs fixing. Hopefully I won't have to use it too much! 
So long suckers!

That's not a vacation.
Leave it at home. Disable all work related devices (and/or work related notifications)

Enjoy - and take the battery out and leave it at home ...

If you have MS Teams on your phone just remember to disable it so you don't get notifications over both mobile data & Wi-Fi

Dear Boss,
I'm leaving for Florida on <day> for a vacation and I will be gone for <days>.
I'm leaving all digital devices at home and cannot be reached for <days>.
This is my vacation, I have earned it and I plan on enjoying it by unplugging.
Thanks for your understanding, or not!

I turned last weekend from a 3-day weekend into a 4-day one by taking Friday off as a holiday. It's been years I've done that.
I was rewarded with tornadoes and a power failure that lasted for nearly 48 hours. I'm not sure whether I've jinxed myself, but this would be in line with my typical luck.
OTOH...I'm trying very hard to tell myself I'm lucky I haven't suffered any actual damage, other than one dead PC that (I'm guessing) didn't like the brownouts, even though it was sitting behind a UPS...

If you’re gone for a week and it all falls apart - ask for a big raise!!
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.
|

|

Unless it fell apart because of your code.

But when I got home I realized I picked 7 up.
I'll let myself out.

This left me a sour taste.

Sickly sweet for me.

Agreed! that's why one must always have a good supply of Tito's vodka on hand, you have to offset that sweetness somehow.

I've heard that apparently italian Sprite is that much sourer than European and US Sprite. We also had a small production of sugar-free Sprite that I loved, but it was too sour and bitter even for Italian taste (it was much closer to Schweppes than to standard Sprite).

Again, I'm thinking Tito's to the rescue!
You want bitter, consider this stuff Jeppson's Malört[^] a local (Chicago) specialty.

I have to admit that I have indeed tried it. My son and his wife took a trip to Chicago a few years ago and heard about it from a bartender who had them try it. He brought a bottle back when the family all got together for Christmas. We all tried a shot.  I threatened to disown him. My youngest daughter took the bottle back home as she and her boyfriend were throwing a party the following week and wanted to torture their friends. As it turns out one of her friends actually liked it and finished it off.
Have you ever tried it? To me, it tasted of anise and wasn't so bad - for about a half second. Then a horrible aftertaste aftershock sets in that knots your whole face. It is truly unpleasant.

I have had it several times, I expected it to be a lot stronger (alcohol-wise) to be honest. The aftertaste is bitter no doubt, but to me, no more so than say a grapefruit. I lost a good deal of my ability to smell ~15 years ago, so I can't really speak to any nuances of what it actually tastes like. But given a choice, I'm more of a vodka person.

I was rushed to add a few features to a new web app yesterday morning which unfortunately spawned a copy/pasta logic error making the app unusable. I hadn't even left the driveway before finding out about it!
