Ask HN: Does debating or taking positions reflect maturity level of developers?

1 points by lnalx 2 years ago | 1 comment

With the new debate around using Typescript or JS.

To know that such and such a language or framework is the most widely used and therefore the best, or any other unfounded position or debate. Once a developer has reached maturity, he knows which tool to choose for the right job. There's no point in fighting and debating. As a developer, we live in a galaxy of technologies, with an endless range of good and bad solutions for every use case. Taking sides isn't the solution, and it locks us into a box.

Let people use what they want.

What do you think?

Many times it's personal preference or familiarity. Also, sometimes there's a business case like you mentioned popularity that seems like a business case. Easier to find developers.
