I think that any front-end code is over-engineered, as well as the whole front-end related technology stack :(

Laravel Dashboard - Over Engineered?
Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like the front-end code for Laravel is over-engineered? A good example is the dashboard—I wanted to change what was displayed in the sidebar, and I had to go full Minecraft on that crap and dig three classes deep just to find it (okay, maybe a slight exaggeration). It feels like Laravel has lost its beautiful KISS principle, which is what we all loved about it. Or am I wrong?
