Though we can find a lot of obvious overengineering cases, Tonsky should have known better that reference-style website a la Wiki and feature rich application like Airbnb impose very different trade offs between initial/overall loading times and functionality.
An interesting case when someone who is firmly saying "BS" three times in every paragraph is BS too.
- ForHackernews 8y agoHow is Airbnb a "feature rich application" compared to Wikipedia? They're both Search+CRUD sites as far as I can see.
- juskrey 8y agoWikipedia user experience is basically a tree, Airbnb is a pretty complex graph
- ForHackernews 8y agoWikipedia has editors, varying levels of admin permissions, different types of pages, templates, comments, edits, etc. I'm not sure their data model is any less complicated than Airbnb. But regardless of the complexity of the database schema, neither one of them is really an "feature rich application" in the way that that say, Photoshop, is a feature rich application. At the end of the day, I think they're both just CRUD apps.
