Advice to my younger self: become allergic to the churn
The piece reads like a Unix pastor's pulpit preaching<p>"Great nutritious technologies to use: Make, Emacs, Lisp, CLI"<p>"Bad unwholesome technologies to use: JavaScript, Ruby, IDEs, Graphical User Interfaces"<p>I personally hate Make, it's burned me too many times. Now I use CMake, and I haven't been burned in years.<p>And is it candy or an olive that I like VSCode and not Emacs (not that I've ever tried Emacs, I just don't feel like investing in that ecosystem)?<p>I agree the front end web framework churn is out of control; hopefully it will stabilize over time. But come on, don't just rip on random scripting languages that have been around for 25 years
