Lot of people hating on his 'architecture' that are a bunch of 'architecture astronauts'.
This is a kid that saw a need and went out and did it. His PHD is “currently completing my PhD in Water Resources Engineering”. So, this work is pretty amazing as a hobby, a side line to his PhD.
Isn’t that what Open Source is all about, jumping in and filling a need, not “waiting until I’m a grizzled 30 year veteran of the corporate IT wars, then deciding to do something with a perfect architecture”.
- nonethewiser 4y agoIt’s hacker news. An engineering audience is going to have an opinion. The author can learn from the feedback. By all means, it would be rude to criticize OP for his design choices but most of what I see doesn’t fit that category. For the record I agree that his accomplishment with this project is impressive.
- the_af 4y agoI see no hate, just a critique. ("Architecture astronauts" don't argue for simpler architectures, but instead want to build general, solves-everything kind of overengineered monsters. I don't see this in the critiques)
- bahmboo 4y agoI don't see any critiques.
- the_af 4y agoIt's the second topmost thread, start with this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35342160 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35342160 I think the critique is pretty mild and reasonable, regardless of whether you agree with it or not, and it's definitely not "hate".
- bahmboo 4y agoAhh, thank you for the direct link. Part of the confusion with the duped/notduped post. I don't think OP really meant "hate" with the expression "hating on" but it's still easily taken as harsh.
