alt Hacker NewsThe split is about people who care about the commerce behind software development vs people who care about the craft.
Commerce camp understands tradeoffs needed in a competitive environment. Cutting corners where possible, not being dogmatic about unit tests and clean code an so on.
If you notice - the craft people rarely think about commerce because coding is an artistic expression.
Your generalization are as useful as me saying that people in the first camp are just sloppy workers who dump their subpar code on others in hope that they’ll never need to touch it again.
