> "I'd rather assume other people are incompetent than accept that maybe maintaining tens of thousands of components presents unique challenges that I could learn from." Entirely disingenuous, and doesn't assume good faith by communicating experience. > I am disagreeing with the idea that their failure comes from just the technology and not in anyway from the actions of a developer. Exactly. More often than not, in fact a majority of the time, people are flawed when it comes to UI development. This underscores how greatly we undervalue good engineering. It's not some thing that's just commonplace. As a barometer, not all of my coworkers are competent enough to build projects or products on their own that other engineers want to consume. In fact, especially when it comes to UI-related projects, almost none of them are competent enough to do so, and that's okay. But it means I extend this criticism outside of the workplace, where I've worked at several companies where people could hardly take Photoshop renders and accurately replicate them in HTML and CSS, nor did many of them have an appropriate grasp of the visual formatting model.
