i thought the article was a little critical of the "little apps" approach. I think the point wasn't so much the mess of things, its more that the approaches used are very very basic (like a big unforgiving calculator more then intelligence). I am not sure how the "DHH approach" makes that any better (I have never seen a rails app that I would call intelligent at all - they are web gui's for databases is all - pretty, cheap to build and pleasant enough to use, for sure, but still, not "intelligent" in the way the article talks about).
- run4yourlives 19y agoI agree, I don't think those little apps scale well. The problem is I haven't seen anything that scales well. I think the solution is not the technology, but the system they are forced to deal with. I suppose I was looking for something more around how you can change the corporation to fit the tech. (Yes, I know that's entirely backwards)
- michaelneale 19y agoyeah - well I guess its easier to "hope" as the article says that technology can solve the problem, when really it is a people problem. I think we put too much emphasis on the tech as to why things go right or wrong. We should just shut up and do stuff (plenty of people do, they just don't necessarily blog about it 24/7).
