Winner of a simplicity contest and sales of bloated plugins.

Yes, if you just throw in plugins you think you need without a clue.

indeed i only use OOP if i really have to, i stick with functional programming since the 90s. thats why i love C (thanks dennis ritchie!), its the most beautiful language without all the bloat and no OOP.. well you could still use it, but you don't need it.

No arguments got it. That’s how you tell a junior from an experienced dev.

Classes and their constructors are pointless in many projects. It makes sense in very few cases. With classes put in every place spaghetti is inevitable at one point with containers and injecting them everywhere it takes hours to make changes to code. Uncle Bob is as much of a liar as websites with code katas. Start coding with C and if it's hard, there's only one way to understand computers inner workings.
When we look at Uncle Bob works it's mostly C++, Java, Agile, UML. It's all very complicated and books of that guy are recommended to beginners, but who needs all of that in the beginning? I think such a person won't be able to focus on delivery and will get lost in all that becoming a weak engineer.
It's for investors, not for you. All your examples and your guide to "create a tech stack" is buzzwords for investors.
You also forgot "ai-driven" and "built on the blockchain".
For maximum memes, I'm just gonna throw in my personal tech stack that outperforms all of yours mentioned:
"Just use Python 4Head"

It is not possible to find a job without all of this *rap. I am a developer without one hour of working hours in a company.

Most of the things you listed are advances in programming and while not necessary they help maintaining projects.
For example microservices allow you to encapsulate different functionalities in different pieces of software and that way everything is much easier to maintain, it saves money to the owner and headaches to the devs that can specialize in programs that do only one task but they do it great.
React is just a framework, do you want to write in plain js, css, html? Will you use the horse to go everywhere because "cars are unnecessary"?
It saves time, that's why we use it.
Pipelines help to automate everything, testing to have your master branch healthy and ensure that the production branch doesn't go wild, it also allows automating the execution of whatever business the software is for.
And I could go listing all those elements but if you are a software dev you should research and learn them.
I think you are right about corporations using buzzwords to look fancy all the time, but most of the things you mentioned are actually important.

If there was anything remotely meaningful about the latest and greatest framework/library/tool, etc. then it would be here to stay. But that's never the case because they're CONSTANTLY being replaced with said "later and greater" version.
Also the whole mindset of using libraries is wrong in itself, because in the general sense, nothing is separable. Yet libraries assume generally that things are modular.
Sure, you could slap together a bunch of random assets in Unity to make an FPS, but nothing is cohesive, nothing is aware, and nothing interacts with another thing.
And this describes modern-day software. Nowadays it's not about choosing the optimal solution for said case, it's about choosing a one size fits all approach... And it's disturbing that people embrace the "design principles" associated with it. It's done nothing but destroy software culture as a whole.
tl;dr
Software culture is dead.

Word of the day. People should stop overcomplicating things.
