The code of the webcrowd is getting less maintainable as time goes by? Hah. I suggest you compare the code complexity of a webapp written using the state of the art 10 years ago to one of the same size using the state of the art today.
You will find that if you use tools like Rails and Django then you will end up with a much higher maintainability than if you used the tools available a decade ago.

- skrebbel 15y agoAh, now I see your point. I'm talking about code that survives for years. Not about making a new project every half year with the latest & greatest libraries of the time. There have been some rants about unmaintainable Rails projects here on HN the last months. It's those kinds of projects I'm referring to.
