- tomcatfish 8y agoA la https://www.xkcd.com/378/ https://www.xkcd.com/378/ (Real Programmers) or https://www.xkcd.com/435/ https://www.xkcd.com/435/ (Purity). This seems to be a thing developer-type people struggle with a lot, and I really think it is an engineering mindset issue. We tend to like the things we have control over or understand completely, and technologies that have hidden parts (like Reddit or certain controversial programming languages) are disliked for their perceived dishonesty.
