> 3-10 juniors can make a massive expensive mess of a crud app that costs $x0k a month in amazon spend and barely works, while someone who knows what they're doing could cobble it together on a lamp stack running under their desk for basically nothing.

Yes! Absolutely. It will be faster and more reliable and an order of magnitude (or more) cheaper.

Alas, I'm slowly (grudginly and very slowly) coming to terms accepting that absolutely nobody cares. Companies are happy to pay AWS 100K/mo for that ball of gum that becomes unresponsive four times a day, rather than pay for one expert to build a good system.
