I built FlingUp following the quickest path and compared to what we build at work.. FlingUp is lightyears ahead. Not held down by mindless patterns, very easy and quick to extend and build upon. Adding 1 new db field at work requires half a day of work until it is available for use on the frontend. The applications at work are so ridiculously overengineered that I sometimes feel we had too much money and time to throw at the codebase, engineers were experimenting and playing with pattern of the month. Maintainability is pretty much gone.
