Frankly, since I've moved to the Netherlands, every project I worked in seemed to exist exclusively to justify a comfy, lazy job for incompetent Dutch POs, scrum masters,"customer journey experts", copywriters, designers. There is way too much money in this country and an incredible amount of bullshit jobs.
Sounds like a big company problem. In most startups anywhere in the world, I would think they would be pressed for cash to just hire software engineers.
