It's ironic that he mentioned "comments" while we live on the sad age where "comments are evil", "smells like bad code"; while the reality of people screaming these sentences are exactly those who deliver garbage code.
Didn't read the article yet, but came here to say that I couldn't agree more with that sentence in the sense that the industry should stop making people "software architects", specially those that do not code at all but want to make design decisions. Software architect should be a role and not a position.
I couldn't agree more. In my company we've decided that everyone will use Typescript with Pulumi because we believe that the developer experience (IDE, code autocompletion, etc) will be the best + it's a language that arguably is more used here as frontenders will know it too + providing examples, etc.
> Build systems inevitably evolve into something turing complete. It makes much more sense to implement build functionality as a library or set of libraries and piggyback off a well designed scripting language.
This is so true. That's why I hate and love Jenkins at the same time.
