Thats similar to me as a frontend dev seeing all the backend complexity and thinking it would be easier just to read and write a json file instead of a db + api

It works but on longer projects where requirements can explode in complexity it becomes a problem. It really helps to have tools that can stay maintainable.
- tambourine_man 3y agoYeah, sure. It's pure joy of mantainability and dependencies. Just watch out for that dust, if you sneeze next to a 5 year old Node.js/React project, the whole thing falls apart.
- devmor 3y agoThat comparison works against your point quite well because there are an absolutely incredible amount of backend services built with scalability and sharded postgres dbs with redis caching or what-have-you that would have been perfectly served by a perl script and an sqlite file.
