Comment on Flutter Web: A Fractal of Bad Design (2020)

Comments

I am seing a "Fractal of bad design" statement second time in my life, first one was a famous article about PHP [1] (is flagged here but very upvoted on some other resources).

[1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28085142

I assumed that the title was a reference but it doesn't seem to be a good reference. I don't think "fractal" fits well here as really the only mistake discussed was ditching HTML. I do think this is a critical error and makes Flutter sites largely unusable but it is still one big mistake, not a fractal.

The PHP one is the original, as far as I know (it's certainly old enough, at this point). Everything else is a reference to that, kind of like "...considered harmful."

That is an excellent read and a funny critique
