Reductionist garbage. Their "minimalist" sentry clone literally does nothing as presented on the page. There must be a back end that stores errors and an interface to view them, etc.
There's a reason most apps are complex: because the world is complex. Making software that does nothing and pretending it's as useful as real software in the name of fashion, "minimalism" is frankly unimpressive and uninteresting. There are no shortcuts in real life. No matter how good their sentry backend is, I guarantee it's not nearly as useful because they almost certainly left out the ui that makes sentry the useful tool it is.
So tired of articles about fashion.
- tipiirai 7y agoYes. There is a backend that stores errors and an interface to view them. This article simply compares the size/complexity/feature-richness of the frontend code. Sentry UI is good and we are familiar with it. So is ours. It's just more minimalistic.
- hinkley 7y agoAlton Brown complains about single-use kitchen tools. I find his theories on implements to be very sympathetic to my own. Invest materially and mentally into a few good tools and learn to wield them properly. Don't half-ass two things. Whole-ass one thing. For one of my hobbies I have a little speech about how you could get started with only 5 specific tools. And the punchline of that story is that it's actually 4 tools + 1 duplicate. Because the 4 are that useful on their own, and one of them wears out much faster than the rest.
