The problem is that the Author is assuming that 90% of software we write to make a living is set into stone and suppose to run forever. Almost everything we do is disposable and replaced within the same decade.
So he does not like Javascript and Nosql. Is it hard to find a JavaEE job? I think not.
- hyc_symas 12y agoI think the real problem is the disposability attitude you just described. It's prevalent in our real world consumerist economy and it's killing us there too. Building software that's to be thrown away is a waste of mental resources and physical resources. Society and civilization advances on top of our lasting creations, not the ephemeral ones. Reinventing the wheel doesn't advance the state of the art. You want to build one good set of tools that will last a long time, so you can stop thinking about them and be free to tackle the next truly new challenge. Doing anything else is just a waste of life.
- igl 12y agowat? How can you even compare the "problems" of building commercial software to the problems of consumerism in capitalism? The standards applied here are whack in the scope of what js and mongo are used for. Also: You only get better by reiterating.
