That maybe true but what happens when people, including yourself, switch teams? At some point we all wade through someone else’s mess. Hell, even your own mess

That maybe true but what happens when people, including yourself, switch teams?
At some point we all wade through someone else’s mess. Hell, even your own mess revisited after a period of time is unpleasant.
The more you can do to make your software predictable and boring the less unpleasant it will be for everyone.
- Ma8ee 4y agoI actually got to a point where I don't mind my own code. Even code I wrote years ago feels natural to me when I revisit it. And about the switching teams part. I much rather take over code that is written for our specific use cases than trying to wrap my head around some huge generic framework.
- willsmith72 4y agoBut this is the point... You don't have to "wrap my head around some huge generic framework" for every project. If you choose the right framework, it's already used in teams, projects and businesses across the world, so hiring and upskilling are far far easier than they would for a custom framework.
- Ma8ee 4y agoUntil something is broken, and you need to step through 40 levels of stack (certainly no exaggeration) to try to figure out where something is happening, and where that exception is swallowed. Most often it's not the framework that is broken, but you still need to understand enough of the framework to figure out what is wrong where.
