it's time to change your workplace, not everyone is meant to be petty/incompetent.
My experience is that even the most committed and smart people degrade as teams into patterns which produce seemingly unnecessary complexity because that's where our industry trends and tools push us. People create boxes to isolate perceived complexity, that in turn create new complexity.
I share the other commenter's frustrations. I want out of the tarpit.
I have the exactly opposite experience - I call bullcrap when I see it, bluntly and directly. 'Industry standard' nonsense is still nonsense.
The sheer truth is that many developers are just CV driven, or they miss their childhood playing with toys. Overall the software developers/engineers (we) are an extremely spoiled breed, often entirely detached from reality - and it shows.
