- eru 10y agoWe are just ratcheting up the complexity all the time. Moving goalposts (and a bit of complexity-bloat).
- stale2002 10y agoThey DID say the same thing 10-20 years ago, and they were CORRECT. Ever try to build a web application in Assembly language or C? It would probably be pretty difficult. You don't have to do that anymore. 1 web developer can do more work today than 100 assembly developers could, from 50 years ago.
- cmoscoso 10y agoBuild a JS app today is extremely complex.
- onion2k 10y agoI think that's more a sign that we want more from web apps than any increased complexity in the apps themselves. Building a web app now isn't any more technically difficult than building a Linux app was 20 years ago. The only difference is that the tools aren't as mature.
