Some of this however is 'cookbook coding'. Too many people learn recipes rather than ingredients.
Consider your programmer that goes to a 'big data' class and is taught how to use the stack. They are taught this generally on a 'toy' application because it would take to long to set up a real application. They are there to learn the stack, so they either ignore or get only lip service to the 'when would this be appropriate' slide. Now they come back to work and they know the recipe for using this big data stack.
The boss gives them their task, they apply their recipe, and voila, they have a solution. All win right?
If it is any consolation the type of engineering situation you are experiencing does (in my experience at least) eventually correct with the manager being moved out.
