Comment on Jonathan Blow on Removing Dependencies

Comments

Absolutely. This is part of the reason I refuse to go back to JavaScript work, because JavaScript developers don't live in that world.

Everybody claims to want software that achieves better performance and better durability. Even in JavaScript land people claim to want better performance and better durability. Yet, when it comes down to taking ownership or actually doing the work there is no greater evil, so there is a lot of lip service and whining there.

As an experiment just mention replacing some dependencies at work in JavaScript land with some code you have written and see what happens. There aren't salaries large enough to go back to that.
