It seems like you're reading into what I'm saying a commitment to "not trying" and "[a] metric for evaluating good engineering practices". I'm absolutely not, I'm arguing against the kind of sneering belief in self-superiority that leads some software developers to feel like someone who uses a particular method or way of making working software, "sucks".
- tacitusarc 4y agoThere’s a balance here, and it’s important to recognize that often the “but the code works” mantra is used by the lazy or incompetent to justify poorly written code. I think everyone has been burned by something different, and sometimes we read internet comments that are easy to misinterpret as supporting The Thing We Hate That Burned Us.
