> management loves [overly complex solutions], because it creates "work" for the sake of it, but it doesn't add any real business value.

Don't managers understand that development is a constrained resource? They have to choose which projects move forward, where people are assigned, and increasingly, which outsourced service to use because they don't have enough in-house resources to turn to.

My cynical view of the move to complexity is management (or their C-level superiors) are often sold on new platforms or "standards" that require it.
