All too relatable. The real kicker is that WebAgency probably _did_ enter this with the best of intentions. Individual contributors care a lot, and the CEO cares a lot, but they aren’t the ones planning and resourcing everything. Agencies are good when a big company needs someone to do their thinking for them through a long-term relationship. Even then, there’s no crystal ball as to whether a relationship is a good idea, will be successful, or if the work will be any good.

In fairness, I think we’ve all taken a look at our project’s package.json and wondered where in the hell the front-enders in our org get this shit. But generally, when you look through their trendy set of libraries and the gulp workflows running it, it’s typically fairly sensical. I find a lot of times, this kind of thing is a team member or two trying to enhance their dev experience, and while it can be hit-or-miss it’s not like people don’t do these things in other areas.
I went down this path, and while it was ok I didn’t think it handled weird resolutions well, and I wanted something kind of specific with Google Calendar that wasn’t trivial to pull off. I ended up going with dakboard.com which has a nice web portal to manage it, and even has a raspbian image with the software preloaded.
