"abusive previous generation of programmers"
It was interesting for me to read that because I'm from that previous generation of programmers, and I've always felt that it's the current generation that's abusive. :)
- donatj 10y agoMy thoughts as well. The previous generation I have found to have constructive criticism. The current generation cares very little about actual engineering quality and just MVP and failing fast. That's of course an over simplification but the new generation has yet to prove they can build anything reliable or that will be around for more than a few years (see: emacs, bash, etc)
- meric 10y agoPerhaps for Zed the "current generation" of programmers are those who are still learning, rather than NodeJS brothers - since his book focuses on beginners - so for you, you'd be in the previous, previous generation of programmers and both of you are complaining about the same generation.
