CRUD != crud
I don't know if you are making this error, but I it all the time on /r/cscareersquestions and it is a foolish conflation.
crud: crappily-built product
CRUD: a set of UI operations on records in your data model.
You can totally have a well-built CRUD app maintained by a team that cares about code quality.
- wayn3 9y agomaybe i just dont care maybe it was intentionally conflated to call CRUD usually crappily-built maybe i dont subscribe to your nomenclature maybe you can have well-built crud apps (omg I did it again and this time its an oxymoron), but if you pick out a crud app at random, I'll give you 10:1 odds that its code quality is absolute garbage
- UK-AL 9y agoYes, but CRUD applications are typically done for small applications on uninteresting problems where people don't really care about code quality. So they have a bad reputation. The worst CRUD applications, is where they've been extended where they are no longer CRUD but the architecture still assumes CRUD.
