Keep it simple, bash and blame the rest:
Bashing anything is great for engagement,
especially among the type of folks we are, IT
It it easier and better for our ego:
we love to blame others for our problems
it is simpler to blame others for our problems
I mean we are looking for simplicity right?

Someone got to explain me Dev psychology:
Dev:

- Happily spends 100s $ monthly for a heavily rate limited LLM service. The return on investment is unproven

- Cries out loud when OSS projects try to get some money out of it to be able to sustain the project. ( proven return on investment )

Tired of reading
"That is past thing stop using it, use That instead"

Read somewhere :"if something scares you in dev ... change the process."
What-if
1/ the process is actually ok ( more or less, improvement welcome)
2/ It's the humans who are not good / willing at following them
Seeing Too much one way thinking in the form of :
- it's the process that's wrong

Each component of the system is perfect
It's the interaction of components that is not perfect.
