Another episode of "old man screams at the cloud"?
All points in this rant boil down to gatekeeping.
Sure, Electron, React-Native, PHP, and whatnot might not have maximum performance. But they allow people to build things that couldn't do it in the past. Now we get apps from different demographics than the author belongs to, which is a great win in my book.
- ohCh6zos 5y agoIf this is gatekeeping then not all gatekeeping is bad. I want my pilots and surgeons gatekept to the degree it lets only the competent through. Likewise I want software gatekept to the degree it prevents poor software from being written.
- Karrot_Kream 5y agoI'd want gatekeepers to gatekeep based on proof not based on feelings. American aviation is said to have its regulations written in blood, but the industry has a very methodical process for adding rules. Each crash has inspectors get involved attempting to get to a set of root causes which inform new safety regulations. It's an evidence based process. They don't just depend on the baseless ranting of some person's blog.
