That is the most punchable response I've seen in a while.
Punchable is a bit far, probably wanna tone it down a bit, big guy.
Just kidding, but it's only funny and also is it this guys fault?
I don't even know if it's true, but in any case, the guy who tasked a react (native) developer on the start menu is responsible (not the developer).
Example: If I managed a product and hired a python developer and told them to do x, they would likely use python, right? (In this scenario, It is I the manager wjo failed everyone, not the developer).
Also the other commenter is correct. It's like the common saying "use the right tool for the job". The saying doesn't make sense, because the right tool is always the one you know how to use..
Didn't mean that literally π I just thought it was funny to describe a written response as punchable. But the response was annoying.
It might not be the developer's fault, but him practically defending the choice by completely dodging the performance aspect is irresponsible to me. It's like he's ashamed to discuss it. Or doesn't have the knowledge to?
A good developer should speak up and say that they might not have the skill set required for the task. That's my opinion. Either that or learn the ropes but flag for extra time needed.
100% disagree. There are more suitable tools for certain jobs.
Hello I am looking for a job as a surgeon. Okay what tools do you know? Jackhammer. That's the only one you know? Yup. Mmkay then that's the right tool for surgery in your case, can you start Monday?
π«
Imagine someone using Java to write a program that just runs several other commands in sequence. That should really be a script, and the developer should learn a sufficiently suitable shell scripting language.
But yeah, ultimately I agree, it's not his "fault". Especially if he flagged this to be something a bit out of the ordinary, and his manager(?) insisted. Then it's 100% not the guy's fault, for sure ong.
When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
"... And that is how I used React as a database language."

I feel like that reply would have fit better one comment level higher.
Very possibly. Oh wellβ¦
"I am a react developer"
I thought we are supposed to be language-agnostic after 3rd project.
Two more projects to go, then!
In the era of tech evangelists? People pick 1 technology branch and make it their entire personality
That's still a stupid reason. I'm a .NET & MSSQL developer primarily, I'm not gonna shove C# in every project I write if it doesn't makes sense.
No way that's real. Tell me it's not real
Probably, but only because at this point I'm fairly certain reality itself must be a parody of something.
This is what's wrong. Distilled.
