I don't know whether to laugh or to cry ! This is so true. Too many people with not enough background/experience, the dumbing down of programming to appeal to the masses (hey, just use this framework and call this api), the explosion in complexity of everything because apparently all solutions have be at Google scale, babel of languages/tools etc. etc. The joy of understanding/mastery/comprehension is gone.
- junon 6y agoThe last sentence is especially true. I hate writing code most days, now. There's nothing interesting about the problems most companies are trying to solve, for example.
- aprdm 6y ago> The joy of understanding/mastery/comprehension is gone. Yes, and is also not rewarded. Deeply understanding a problem has much less career value than job hopping + leet code practice. We're creating a generation of senior developers who do not understand problems deeply. (And are also "senior" within 1-2 years...)
