And experienced developers come from novice developers, so putting up a "novices go away" sign is suicide, from a community POV.
I dont want novices to go away, i just dont want to impose upon the whole community that it reorganize and tailor itself completely to suit the immediate needs of novices, and to discard/dumb down all tools that are "too complicated". clearly I get pretty frustrated over this one....
Am I advocating never creating new projects? Of course not. But do I think the bar for "are my requirements really so different that I need to start a new project for them" should be set a lot higher than where most people seem to have theirs calibrated.
yeah, i dont know, people in the python community all want to do something "their way". Why does this happen in python and not other communities? or does it happen in other communities but the effect is different ? Im really not sure. but it seems to happen, why not just let it happen until some winners become apparent ? seems to be happening already (i.e. the consolidation of "winners"). but if everyone wants to write their own thing, theres got to be a reason. just because someone complains that now they dont know what approach to use shouldnt mean i should now put away my ideas and defer to the "more popular" idea.
