The author goes on about
> The danger of extremism
And then in the very next section makes this statement:
> Many of today’s programmers completely ignore the fundamental principles of sound programming and they spend a large amount of time fantasizing new layers of complexity in order to appear more clever, more cool, and more acceptable by whomever they regard as their peers.
A 100% completely accurate view. Nope, the author is definitely not an extremist.
- vivekd 6y agoI would say that's the best takeaway from this article, not use a framework or don't use a framework, but don't let yourself lapse into extremism. I noticed in node people run to libraries or frameworks for everything and the "don't reinvent the wheel" principle is taken to the extreme even when existing solutions are less than optimal. We don't want to be at that extreme but we also don't want to be at the extreme of avoiding frameworks altogether.
