It's not nearly as uncommon as I'd like.
- MaxBarraclough 7y agoIt doesn't sound like inner-platform-effect to me. teddyuk didn't say they were reinventing the wheel, just that they were doing awful things with dictionaries.
- teddyuk 7y agoI started reading the article: “ The inner-platform effect is the tendency of software architects to create a system so customizable...” Yup, that was it and I have seen it so many times - architects should think that a flexible system that “can just” handle any possible future requirement. This always ends in a mess of junk that isn’t actually needed by the business.
