Real talk.
Well, some of the "old school" has left the market of natural causes since the 2000s.
That only leaves the rest of 'em. Wer dey go, and what are your top 3 reasons for how the values of the 2000s era failed to transmit to the next generation of developers?
- kps 7mo agoThere's no market for it.
- balamatom 6mo agoNot real talk. To have a market for something you need people to find it valuable. What drove the shift in values?
- ekaryotic 6mo agocould have been a pressure to decrease wages, decreasing quality in exchange for increased quantity of code.
- balamatom 6mo agoAlright, if we were to replace "quantity of code" with something like "feature velocity", I might agree that something like that could be the case. Of course, then the next question is: how was this accomplished? I mean, we're talking people's values here - i.e. the preferences of economic actors - IIUC the phenomenon underlying the entire market model? Are those so flimsy so as to be completely overwritten in a generation's time? Is this something that happens every generation?
