On: Rob Pike’s Rules of Programming (1989)

[bigstrat2003]

This type of thinking is what has turned everyone's "desktop" app into an Electron piece of shit. It turns software into a race to the bottom where as long as it's just good enough for users to not drop it, companies say "ok let's do it". It's not good advice to give, imo.

I would not count electron app build on top of NPM or similar as a good example of what the GP was stating.
