Surely this is not the fault of boring technology, but rather poor design. You can easily make the same mistake using the latest and greatest.
- jfb 12y agoI think it's more nuanced; certain technologies afford certain designs. There really are differences in languages, and those differences expose users to different misbehaviors -- or the dual, to different optimizations.
- InclinedPlane 12y agoI think the point the parent was making was that using terminology like "scary" or "boring" for technological choices is fundamentally an abrogation of responsibility. It's cargo cult programming. Good programming, intentional engineering, is one where people are cognizant of the risks and other tradeoffs of different languages, frameworks, designs, etc. It shouldn't be surprising that an organization that opted out of a discussion on technology stacks would also ultimately opt out of discussing algorithmic complexity as well, it speaks to a lack of sophistication and maturity at the institutional level.
