“ Developers don't include things just because it looks nice in the makefile”
This is actually surprisingly common, much more so these days with cookie cutter repositories.
There are large communities of developers who feel better with a large toolkit of functionality in a build environment, where a typical project may only benefit from a fraction of the included libraries
My limited experience of iOS dev suggests this is less of a problem Here, but I’m sure still is a factor
- userbinator 9y agoThere are large communities of developers who feel better with a large toolkit of functionality in a build environment, where a typical project may only benefit from a fraction of the included libraries In my experience, these tend to be the same type of developers who tend to copy-paste code extensively and not really understand what they're doing. They may be really good at finding these "cookie cutter" solutions and following instructions, but when asked to actually explain, they're unable to. This is particularly problematic for debugging, when you ask one of these developers about the reason for the way something is written and he doesn't know beyond the fact that he saw and copied it from somewhere.
