Managing complexity has always been part of the game. To a very large extent it is the game.
Hate the company selling you a SaaS subscription to the closed-source tool if you want, and push for open-source alternatives, but don't hate the tool, and definitely don't hate the need for the tool.
> Please do no co-opt the term "hacker".
