The One About Complexity
from Runtime Rundown - JavaScript and Web Development · host Joe Boyle and Evan Cooper
In this episode, we have another multi-article adventure. We start by talking about The Collapse of Complex Software, an article about how developers don't know how to delete code, then add depth by getting into a Build Your Own Framework hacker news flame war. We also apologize to Syntax, Evan compares engineers to farmers (then archeologists), and Joe experiments with terrible sound effects.
