A few days ago, I wrote "Understanding Over Origin" and it got alot of engagement and I'm really happy that it did because it means people took the time to read, understand my perspective and I get to engage with every one of them in the comments as well. Of course, not everyone agrees but that's irrevelant, the point is a healthy discussion between various perspective from different developers around the world.
But what I haven't told anyone is this: the more I engage, the more I realized something that I still do. I still write a lot of my code by hand and those are the parts I'm more proud of "
Not gatekeeping, not me being nostalgic or identity-defensive ( well, a little nostalgic ), that's me admitting the article I published was incomplete.
