Web programming is getting unnecessarily complicated

software development is immature, unprofessional and driven by fads. It's the geek equivalent of evolution of a peacock's tail: an opportunity for a class of developers to show "prowess", even if it means adding unneeded and costly complexity, and to be rewarded for it, creating a feedback loop.

Web programming is getting unnecessarily complicated

Framework fragmentation means that any developer who wants to have a reasonable set of job choices at a given time, cannot keep a focused path, lest they end up in an unfashionable dead-end.

Web programming is getting unnecessarily complicated

programmers don't often have a choice in the tools they use, and even if they did, it would be bad for their careers to put simplicity first-technical interviewers have unrealistic ideas about their requirements and value "rock stars" with buzzword-complaint resumes over sound engineering judgement.
