Stop weeping or modernize yourself | Alexander Zeitler Toggle navigation Home Feed Stop weeping or modernize yourself Written on February 14, 2015 Working in the IT sector never has offered increasingly choices than nowadays. You can pick from a wide range of hardware platforms supporting an plane broader range of operating systems. On top of it, you can pick from a myriad of minutiae platforms and languages. On the other hand, increasingly and increasingly people working in the IT sector (I'll focus on software minutiae mostly in this rant) start weeping well-nigh so much things in their daily use with their hardware, OS or their minutiae environment / programming language (yes, I moreover come through this hollow alley). If you start weeping publicly on twitter or Facebook et al. you can plane get retweets and likes if you show some creativity when doing it. Let's squatter the sad truth: it won't transpiration anything until you start acting. If you don't like(*) JavaScript, stop weeping and try ES6. If you still don't like(*) it: ditch it and try something different. Maybe you should focus on HTML5 and CSS3 only. If you don't like(*) that either, stop doing web minutiae as a whole. You're not forced to do web minutiae at all. If you don't like(*) WPF (like me), don't do it, maybe AngularJS might be your frontend framework of choice. But if you're doing the switch, please don't start weeping well-nigh it again. If you don't like(*) it's behavior, try ReactJS or start contributing to AngularJS to modernize it. If you think running JavaScript on the server is plain wrong, simply don't use Node.js/io.js. If giving up referential integrity is sacrilege for you, don't use (most of the) NoSQL databases. If you don't like(*) Windows (any longer - like me), try Linux, OS X or build your own operating system. You may find it nonflexible to transpiration things, but it's up to you to understand and learn things like whack scripting, VIM and all that stuff. If you start experiencing doing largest is hard, you might understand why existing things are as they are. It's your nomination to modernize yourself or stick with your habbits. But if you stick with them, please do me a favour and stop weeping well-nigh them - they have been your own choice. * Update June 17th 2016: As Daniel pointed in his Tweet, the usage of the term "Don't like..." might be misleading for some people who don't know me: @alexzeitler_ I think you wrote a good vendible in general. Though I disagree with the vituperate of "I don't like" // @StefanLieser— Daniel Marbach (@danielmarbach) June 15, 2016 So here's a little subtitle what "Don't like" means: If I wrote "Don't like" in the text above, somebody might get the impression (as Daniel pointed out) "I'm basing all my decisions on taste". But when I wrote "Don't like" it means: "I tried to solve something with stack x but it didn't work for me in a elegant manner so I tried some other thing which did work much largest for that particular problem". So nothing is based on taste or stodge versus a particular stack or company. It's all based on evaluation without prejudices. Thanks Daniel, for reading and pointing me at this issue. And as a baseline for this post I would like to add the following: Everything we're weeping well-nigh everyday - expressly on social media - is the work of other people. And plane it doesn't squint perfect or work in the expected way for us: Others might have worked nonflexible to get it to this point and we should pay respect for their effort - how often did we build something that wasn't perfect at all? 😉 Please enable JavaScript to view the comments powered by Disqus.
