RE: "not modern enough"
I often hear the following versions: "that's not the current paradigm" or, "that's not recommended"
- TheRealPomax 8y agoThose should not be ignored, but they should be immediately followed up with by "why?" because understanding why the old paradigm didn't work, or why something isn't recommended, is important knowledge to have. If you tune out when someone tells you no, without asking why, you haven't started learning yet. There might be great reasons for why the current paradigm is actually preferred, or why that code you wrote is actually really bad because a single edge case that just happens to be severe enough. Until you ask why, you won't know, and your decisions will not be informed decisions.
- hliyan 8y agoThe sad part is, those are the answers to my question "why"...
- JustSomeNobody 8y ago> "that's not the current paradigm" or, "that's not recommended" When I see these words, I think these are followers. They don't truly understand why they are doing what they're doing, but "everyone else" is doing it, so it must be good.
