It isn't just a web thing, but it is way worse in the web world. How many of the cases you described were for web shops?
- jerf 10y agoZero, since I was deliberately describing things that weren't web in my list?
- MustardTiger 10y agoNoSQL databases aren't used by web companies? Linux distros aren't used by web companies? Programming languages aren't used by web companies?
- jerf 10y agoPretty sure all those things are used by non-web people too. If you're going to apply that standard, since to a first approximation everything is hooked up to the web, everything is web. In that case, it does no good to claim that "web people" are particularly prone to anything when "web people" are to a first approximation everybody.
- MustardTiger 10y agoI am aware they are used by non-web people. That is why I asked if these incidents were web companies or not. I am not applying any standard, I asked you a simple question and you responded with a bizarre claim that they were explicitly not web.
- jerf 10y agoOh, well, then I hate to disappoint you, but no, these were not primarily web apps.
- MustardTiger 10y agoWhy would that disappoint me? I asked a simple question. Now you're still not giving me a straight answer, which makes me think you're being dishonest and trying to hide the fact that they were web shops. It doesn't matter if the choice was "primarily" for a web app or not if the choice is being made by web people. People who as a rule abhor learning and value fads.
