Headless brain vacuum (if you pronounce the Magento Template name in English)

 I created this as a summary of my experience, of working with the UTTERLY incompetent people in the industry of e-commerce. The proliferation of HEADLESS e-commerce is EXACTLY THAT. Somebody unable to develop, latching on to work of others and branching out in an attempt to dominate.

The key offenders? A template known as the "silver bullet" in Magento Commerce. The template that was deemed to be a solution to incompetence of developers of web agencies (also known as "digital agency" in the UK).

It is also now NOT deemed to be part of HEADLESS. WHY? because countless others have tried and failed in this space. I have worked with front-end developers unable to comprehend software engineering, being VERY CONFIDENT in their work, as far as they bypass any work themselves. This is how the vacuum of brain (a pronounciation of the name of the template) was born.

One company I had a job interview for was happily hacking an old website of their client just to keep them happy. It was obvious, that the CEO himself, doing all the work with AI now had very little idea about how it was built, but was happy to announce, that the client at least paid them "some money" for the fix. I.e. a literal race TO THE BOTTOM, in complete disregard of the long term. You asked for it, AI is here.
