I’ve heard opinionated people say internal development platforms are bad for the developer’s career as it takes potential lessons and abstracts them away.
Do you think this opinion is valid or do these platforms help developers focus on other areas they want to improve in?
There is truth in this. IDPs are here to help take the load off of developers, but you shouldn't be forced to use them. If you are comfortable enough to do it without a portal (and you can follow your organization's rules), you should be permitted to do so.
Check out how the CNCF lays out the attributes of an IDP, and take a closer look at #6!
In big tech organizations, it saves time and money when you have standards and frameworks. It's very costly to reinvent the wheel for every microservice, in the name of learning.
Standards and frameworks give you the path for 80% of the mundane code shipping scenarios. There will always be 20% experimental and exceptional scenarios, they are the ones to learn from.
