And my point is that this problem has been whined to death, with absolutely no concrete suggestions on how to fix it. All I've ever read is complaints about how some-or-another software should be better, and surprise! the author knows absolutely nothing about the codebase or the tradeoffs being managed. It's lazy armchair software engineering.
- Jensson 3y ago> this problem has been whined to death It obviously hasn't, there is still so much low hanging fruit everywhere. And don't think this problem is unfixable, we will fix it at some point via standardization and each whiner is a data point that helps us get closer to standardization. It happened to cars, planes, boats, tanks etc, those fields started out with a lot of whacky ideas that didn't fit but then designs got standardized and the only thing left to do was to optimize those standard designs. Edit: But for example, whining gave is git, a fast standard version control system that everyone now uses. When enough people whine about something then it gets fixed, bigger problems needs more of it.
- phailhaus 3y agoThe problem is that the whining on display in the post is completely rudderless. It has no idea what it's actually complaining about, just a general feeling of "wow things are complicated aren't they?". Then it asserts a priori that it could be simpler. Out of all the different examples that it complained about, not once did they propose a solution in any of those scenarios. If your argument is that things are more complex then they need to be, prove it. Because it's like an old man looking at a Honda and going "things were so much simpler back in my day!!"
