It sounds like you're reinforcing this divide by classifying people who have a different opinion to you as "hipsters."
They label your technology choice as outdated, and you label them as hipsters. You become the thing you fight.
- ajsnigrutin 6y agoThe problem with using some shiny new library/software/app/technology is, that it might dissapear in a year. The developers will move on to new companies, and work with some new shiny tech, and all your codebase will be useless due to a unmaintained library and no new people (developers) who know how to use it. I wanted to make an example that it was like starting work at a company, and seeing that they're still using phpBB (but with a 1 year old library)... but it seems phpBB is still being developed...
- DarkWiiPlayer 6y ago> but it seems phpBB is still being developed Doesn't that underline your point though?
- ajsnigrutin 6y agoDoes library-support-wise (well, software-wise). Trying to find a developer with phpbb experience now, would be a totally different story.
- burlesona 6y agoHaha, that's fair. It would be more fair to say "advocates" or something like that. My bad.
