It's funny how shitty decisions in tech always seems to win the masses, only because it's easier to get started with. And only 10 or 20 years later, a great amount of effort is put into patching all of this. "Good tech" is created by people with a lot of knowledge of a specific domain. For them, it all makes sense, but the mental modal does not map to newcomers. "Bad tech" is usually forgiving (messy syntax, accepting bad data etc), so people don't get stuck. The solution is to have good tech with proper tooling and hints / error/configuration reporting. apache, php, mongo, mysql, javascript.. They all have the exact same strengths, weaknesses, quirks, bad decisions, and mass adoption.
