I'm on both sides with this one.

I feel like someone could have written the same 10 years ago. "But why do we need something so inefficient as Python, we have C that does the job and is much faster". "GUIs? Such a waste of resources, CLIs do the job just fine and you go faster with it!"

At the same time, I'm also personally quite bored with the sheer amount of complexity we seem to put in everything those days. Layers of frameworks on top of frameworks, especially for simple projects. My friends who followed bootcamps lately learn React, not Web Dev. That is a problem IMHO in the Long run.
