Don't forget that next month someone will pull down his trivial package doing uppercase or something and the whole stack (of cards) will come crashing down. Lately there was some great post here on hn mocking all that js framework lunacy. But i guess that joke is old now as well...

Not only do people do this to do proper work, but the major companies people look up to do and want to work at or emulate do. Hence the problem.

Yes.
