It's like.. a very specific dialect, or way of thinking, where the primary benefit appears to be in selling the simplicity of framework thinking, but where the outcome is an explosion of unintuitive and complicated database manipulations resulting in incomprehensible designs.

Nothing is more complicated to build and maintain like an application built on active record. You have to invest an incredible amount of effort into making simple changes to those things after a couple of years. The amount of mental focus it takes absolutely destroys my mind.

This is excellent.

Just saying.

tidyfirst.substack.com/p/distinctions… At first, programming is just programming. You think of a thing. You make the computer do it. 🎉 After a while, you notice that not all programming is the same. Déjà vu sets in. “I’ve done this before.” A list of distinctions in software design.

How do you come up with a name like this for your official wifi?

Good architectural judgement requires good information. Good communication and facilitation skills will give you good information.
