Perfect knowledge of one's tools can only mitigate some of their weaknesses, not overcome them completely. They seems to have realised that their tools are weak, and the brand new thing is also weak and they don't know what to do.
But if you think the state of web development nowadays is fine and better inderstanding of ones tools is enough, then we have a fundamental disagreement.
- chris_wot 11y agoSorry, is that your opinion in general or are you giving me what you believe is the overarching idea behind that post? Because I sure as heck didn't get that out of that article!
- blub 11y agoFirst paragraph is my interpretation, the second is my opinion.
- chris_wot 11y agoRight. So in other words, his complaint is that programming is hard and there aren't enough tools to allow those who don't have a reasonable level of knowledge and skill to develop scalable and maintainable programs in Ruby. By the by, perhaps a problem of inadequate tooling requires the development of more adequate tools?
