- simias 6y agoWell that's kinda the crux of the issue, isn't it? Some people, including myself, actually disagree with you here. I actually find it absolutely fine, and I like that it forces me to think more about my architecture. It may be a bit trickier when I start on a new project but I find that it pays off in the long run by making maintenance a lot easier.
- Scarbutt 6y agoAgree with you in part that all professional programmers should be comfortable coding most things with out GC and not see it as obscure scary stuff but the in startup world there is no much "pays off in the long run" thinking, it's ship whatever is the fastest to build now over great software.
