So you walk into a culinary studio and they're having this intense class on how to properly prepare escargot.
And you stare at them ... and tell them they should just make a peanut-butter sandwich. They stare at you blankly. Then they tell you to go #$%$#^ yourself.
Is the peanut-butter sandwich easier to make? Yes. Does it taste better? Yes. Can you use it to feed the masses? Yes.
But sir, you forget. It isn't gourmet!
- ch0wn 15y agoGreat analogy. I never got the arguments telling you it's so simple to change little things. When is this ever useful except for when you just get started? It only takes a couple of hours until you leave the zone where small modifications are handy and you need to structure your code, mostly using some MV*-approach.
- Domenic_S 15y agoNo, it's a terrible analogy. In the analogy the output is different (escargot vs. PB sandwich); in the long post above the output is the same: "Hello world" printed to the browser. Assembling something the hard way is for bragging rights, but what really matters is output.
