The statement is intentionally hedging and qualitative. Some people do the usage pattern, some don't.
The advocacy is to push back on search as a difficult and often unnecessary problem to solve.
The caveat is my increasingly toxic pattern to push back on almost everything as unnecessary. It's probably overly antagonistic.
I'm a techno pessimist programmer. I didn't understand this attitude when I was younger but then again people often become that which they fail most to understand
- woolion 5y agoFormulated like that, I'm very sympathetic to your point of view. Having a small set of well-refined features rather than a growing spaghetti of half done ones. I guess my own point of contention is that programmers would say "task X is hard" when it isn't that much, it is that their technical choices make it hard. For instance, one Front-End engineer was really proud of using a very recent and trendy framework to rewrite the whole site from scratch. After deployment, people are ordering the wrong products. His reply was, "keeping the query filters in sync is too hard of a problem". It's really not.
