This classification of applications as CRUD or not CRUD is not helpful. It‘s like thinking about software as just IO or as just some sort of transformation or even as just some sort of function. It says nothing about the complexity and very little about the structure of the problem at hand.
- crimsonalucard 7y agoMaybe a better way to put it is: that the end result is just a website where data is moved around and/or some calculations are done. The whole infrastructure/architecture thing are just strategies on where to place data, how to move data, when to do calculation in the name of mitigating load or making future changes easier. Ultimately, the end result is we're just building interactive documents. "Interactive document maker" or "Dynamic form writer" is a more humble term than "Problem solver" or "Coding Ninja" because that's literally all we're doing.
- quonn 7y agoIt doesn‘t matter if the output is a „document“ or if it runs in a browser. And more so with SPAs. These are not more like documents than any desktop application twenty years ago. And of course software development is about solving problems. And of course it‘s not just about where to place data.
