Why cringe? Hype creates burnout. The churn is absolutely untenable in the UI space right now and hasn't shown signs of slowing down anytime soon.
Where I work we have 3-4 different ways of accessing our monolithic backend, and on top of that 3-4 different ways of accessing and manipulating application state.
It drives me up the fucking wall.
I'm not sure I agree with the little lip service statement. I feel like the feelings are most likely mutual.
Stable systems that don't need constant heroism and don't diverge much from original choices made at the architecture level don't make for good places for juniors to make mistakes and learn from them.
- Jach 7y agoI cringed because it's not my experience that experienced devs are immune to hype, it's an orthogonal characteristic. I also find it somewhat logically inconsistent for there to exist a push for teaching/mentoring The Way of the Hype if seniors haven't bought into it themselves.
