I don’t have a problem with opinions on products, but urging people to “do x instead of y because standards” is such an intellectually lazy take, especially when the party being criticized has led development on some of the most influential open source projects in history.
I’d love to see OP do anything as remotely influential in the industry as DHH.

- mirekrusin 3y agoTheir standard is rational thinking though first principle decomposition - if it still holds through their evaluation, it'll stay as standard, otherwise it's not a standard from their PoV.

- pxc 3y agoWhat? Appeals to standards are appeals to authority.
- yunohn 3y agoAre you sure you can’t see the nuanced difference in this case?
- pxc 3y agoThere can be differences between appeals to authority, and there's also a difference between an appeal to standards and an appeal to (the common, shared hacker value of) standardization. But no such differences are captured by calling one appeal to authority 'an appeal to authority' in contradistinction to another.
- yunohn 3y agoPersonally, I find quite a big difference between the standard of the already widespread usage of K8S versus the cult of personality around DHH who is abrasively opinionated at times.
