I'm betting on the modern app developers system being much easier to maintain and understand ( and pass off to junior programmers), at the cost of speed.

- err4nt 11y agoI don't know about that. I'm a front-end developer, so I know none of the above. I'd rather decipher some complex bit-counting scheme one person made (and documented) in a language I don't write, than to try to piece together a whole system of tools written by various people I can't talk to, and tied together by one person for this specific task. Which one is going to require more reading? Which one is going to be easier to refactor? Although neither develop sounds like a teammate I'd hope to collaborate with, I'd much rather inherit Mr Old-Timer's code to maintain than Mr Modern Developer
- merpnderp 11y agoI was going to say no way, basic boolean logic is doable by every programmer. But then I saw the "old-timer" had some boolean errors themself. So......Maybe you're right.
