This is everything that's wrong with web development frameworks in the last 5-10 years. Everything's optimized for the seductive "get started in 5 minutes", one file example, and people spend the next 5 years trying to work around the framework's short-sightedness and come up with sane ways of organizing an ever growing application.
I sorely _sorely_ miss opinionated frameworks.
- 0x6c6f6c 4y agoThere are plenty of opinionated Python frameworks, you just seem to dislike ones that aren't. This is also showcasing the ease of setup of Neon, mostly. Previous announcement here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31536827 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31536827 Flask because it's literally anything that serves an API easily. There is something a little cheap about these kinds of blog posts, I certainly agree, but you seem to have a lot of pent-up anger for it.
- sixhobbits 4y agoauthor here - guilty as charged re 'cheap'. I spent a few minutes on this to try out Neon and was pleasantly surprised that it did what it said on the tin so I took some screenshots, and then figured it might be interesting to HN.
- cpursley 4y agoIt was interesting and the point is Neon, so thanks!
- huetius 4y agoStrongly disagree with the downvotes on this post. The phenomenon you describe is real enough, but I’ve also seen teams lament their shortsightedness as they fight with the limitations of opinionated frameworks (cough… Django… cough). It’s extremely hard to choose the right tech. The best engineers I have worked with are just as good at minimizing the stakes of making the wrong decision as they are at making good ones.
