Can't we just agree that a middle way is the way to go? Just look at the strawman battle this article as well as these comments here. It's basically:
- "So I should only want to use vacuum tubes and Windows ME for my cutting-edge start-up? You call yourself a dev?!?!"
- "So I should update my legacy backend application every month with every twitter trend? You call yourself a dev?!?!"
I mean, the answer is painfully obvious: Start at the middleway and then move right or left depending on your scope, customers, budget and culture...
- nevi-me 8y agoThe middleway is not the problem. As you mention about the strawmannery; the problem is that often the "tried and tested" people are resistant to trying something else. On the other extreme, the "React, SPA, SSR" people often discredit the page reload thing without thinking whether it works in the scenario. I'm all for learning both ways, but don't like it when someone suggests something without objectively motivating why.
