The problem is not going away until the deskilling of the software profession is reversed.

I don't see it happening for end user stuff like Reddit. The market seems to want the barely working thing for the most cheap in all consumer product categories.

And hiring someone desperate who has skimmed a React and Node JS tutorial page and is now fullstack something is cheap. Or at least the kind of cheap you can reach by greedily optimizing KPIs.
