There’s also no such thing as a CRUD app - or rather, there is, but it won’t meet anybody’s requirements as “just” a CRUD app and will require a lot of (unique, interesting, challenging) customization before it’s actually helping anybody do anything.
- collyw 7y agoThe majority of developers seem to make simple CRUD apps overly complex (in the code I have inherited at least).
- Nasrudith 7y agoGenerally the customer doesn't want "simple" apps like just using a CLI. Then there is the "evolutionary" aspect of feature creep and requirement specs that add non-optimal constraints.
- collyw 7y agoI wasn't talking about the interface, I was thinking about people over engineering code or just having poor design / architecture that makes it a lot more complex than it should be.
- OJFord 7y agoPlenty of 'customised' useful-to-user apps are just CRUD apps though, nothing unique/interesting/challenging, just domain words mapped on to the same multitudinous/boring/easy shell built hundreds of thousands of times before.
