It sounds like excuses I hear from junior devs that don’t want to take time to learn existing frameworks and systems.
Juniors just label anything that requires putting effort to understand as „bad”.
There was insane growth in junior dev numbers last 3 decades. It is not like „no one knows”, it is more like there is much more people who don’t know.
- saghm 4mo agoEven the best programmers in the world write a lot of bugs. Yes, there's a spectrum, but on the whole we're not particularly good at writing code as a species. We still do it though because it turns out that even buggy code can be useful. Compared to building basically anything else in the world, we genuinely are pretty bad collectively at building software. Even the smart seniors.
- ozim 4mo agoYou have any stats on that or just the feeling? I find that a lot of flaws are ignored in for example physical structures because they don’t even know. Take construction inspector and walk with him through five buildings. Let me know if he left any building without pointing out any flaws. Doctors, a lot of stuff is „let’s try this and see how if it gets better”. Taking complexity of software and limited budget - we as industry are much much better in building anything. We have better tools and better practices. Business people are mostly running around like chickens without head, can’t even bother to learn how to use Excel properly. We have GIT, whole testing approach from unit to integration, team organization etc. Most of the world runs on software as is now and it works and there is much more software in the world than any other structures we built as a species.
