The desire to "move fast and break things" keeps you firmly in the 1 year of experience repeated 5 times camp. They teach you to overvalue tools like frameworks and languages and undervalue your use of them. It reinforces a consumer notion of technology, whereby you passively play in conceptual sandboxes constructed by The Great Framework Authors. "Just use Rails!" you hear, ignoring the small voice in your head wondering if all of the beauty of computation can really be foisted into ill-chosen paradigms. The cognitive killswitch that is mass acceptance and cultural success overrides that voice, though, so it's all good. Then, when you inevitably get things into a mess, you consult the inevitable cottage industry of people who give you tricks to ward off the pain temporarily. |
