Because sometimes you want to learn the fancy tools but only need to make something simple. When the time comes to make the complex web app, you are now more prepared.
- astrowilliam 6y agoLearning fancy tools is outside the scope of building a simple website. Simple site is usually HTML/CSS/JS.

- runawaybottle 5y agoThis attitude doesn’t have a ceiling. The same person compelled by that impulse also manages to use an unnecessary data structure that introduces complexity. I’ve seen todo-app-like functionality done with serious data structures that made the code needlessly complex. Why am I here bitching all the time? Because I don’t have it in me to fight someone at work. The underlying tension can be reduced to me saying ‘you know this is crazy right?’, followed with ‘you don’t get it because you are not a real programmer’, and alas, those are both fighting words from both sides.
