And why would I base my entire application on a framework by a tiny developer?
And honestly, ChatGPT is so well trained on AWS CLIs, Terraform, CloudFormation, the SDKs for Python and Node, I can throw most of my problems at it and it does well.
- omginternets 3y agoDon’t? But maybe also don’t gratuitously trash someone’s work?
- scarface74 3y agoI’m not saying their work is bad. But every abstraction is leaky and it’s a lot easier to find someone who knows how to use the native SDKs for AWS/Azure/GCP than someone who knows an obscure framework that doesn’t cover everything.
- omginternets 3y agoYour original comment went a fair bit beyond that assessment.
- 0xedd 3y agoNo. Adults aren't made of sugar. Meaning was clear and professional using layman terms.
- re-thc 3y ago> And why would I base my entire application on a framework by a tiny developer? If we work like this we'd have no frameworks. Everything started from 0.
- scarface_74 3y agoSeeing the clusterfuck of the modern front end ecosystem, you act like that’s a bad thing. But the two most popular front end frameworks that came out over the past few years didn’t exactly come from small companies.
- omginternets 3y agoGreat, now do Linux. Or cURL. Or Clojure. Or Perl. Or Python. Great tools can, and often do come from solo developers without large corporate backing.
- scarface_74 3y agoSo the top contributors of modern Linux are large corporations. cURL is not a framework And isn’t that the ultimate in survivorship bias? How many other languages and frameworks would you have left you screwed if you jumped into whole hog in before they had popular uptake?
- omginternets 3y agoLinux was started by one man, and the qualification as “framework” is immaterial to your point.
- scarface_74 3y agoAnd was it actually used or became popular before it was adopted by and had contributions from major companies?
- omginternets 3y agoActually, yes! And you are conveniently ignoring the other examples that don't fit your world view.
- sdenton4 3y agoFrontends are pretty much always awful... They work until they don't and then you're invested and screwed. I've become a much bigger fan of well-designed libraries. Do one thing and do it well, and preview a simple API for doing it.
