Comment on The reason Angular JS will failparent

Comments

For those interested, he's also written a web framework: http://okmaya.com/2012/08/08/successfully-completed-the-fram...

It eschews OOP, for the following reasons:

"1. Now imagine coming to a website where you have to wait even 30 seconds for every page to load because it has to build objects. Just doesn’t make any sense.

2.Why build objects on every page load, when all the objects are going to be gone once the page is loaded anyway?

3.It’s like building a stock car at the start of every race only to completely take it apart at the finish line. Pointless."

He also gives out some advice:

"Note to OOP Web Devs. Stop being lazy and learn to actually program."

No offense to the author, but he's clearly a junior developer with a blog. Literally every single indicator points to that: overly simplistic, linkbait-y headlines, complete lack of technical examples, no technical anecdotes, overly long articles.

We all go through the "all other software sucks, it's too complex" phase. The difference is how you handle the realization, and how you let that taste influence your own programming. Some software is necessarily complex.
