What utter arrogance. Developers are more often than not driven by time constraints and demands from higher up the food chain. What you call "bloat" is often not just the easier solution, but the only one.
Of course, "bloat" can come from neglecting the non-bloatiness. But to call this mainly a function of competence is in my opinion misguided.
- austincheney 5y agoPerhaps its a matter of perspective. The hand holding many people require just to put text on a webpage seems pretty entitled considering what developers are paid. This especially rings true at the hostility and crying that appear when that hand holding goes away. Its like withholding sugar from a child like you ripped their heart out and watching an emotional tantrum unfold, and of course the child obviously believes they are a tortured victim of an arrogant oppressor. Stepping back from the nonsense I believe this is a training disparity.
