It's not talentless developers, it's the foundations of civilization. Capitalism, chasing the $ not the writing of beautiful software. If an Electron app makes me more money (e.g. by getting to market quicker) than a well crafted native app, then the Electron app will be built. See also building construction and why we end up with 60m^2 poorly constructed but funky looking apartments - who to blame. The concrete pourers? The architect? I don't think it is that simple.
- shiftless 7y agoIt is quite simple. Either you are helping the world, or you are hurting it. Either you do what's right, or you make excuses and continue in the course of wrongdoing. The choice is yours. And that is the existential problem we face--getting people to admit their own wrongdoing and culpability and to repent. I don't want to hear any fucking excuses from anyone about how they were just trying to make a buck or whatever. You don't have to do a damn thing, and sure as hell shouldn't, if it's fucking up the world! "Keeping up with the Joneses" is NOT a valid excuse; nor is "just following orders."
