I don't mind being told what to do (I welcome it in some cases) but magic bothers me a lot. I don't want the framework I'm using to make blind assumptions. I want to use it and my exceptions are it'll help me keep things in order.
yeah, man. i'm with you. that's why i had to quit writing javascript apps -- it turns out there's a whole pile of browser and js engine code that enforces all kinds of design decisions!
so i decided to start writing native applications. but then it turns out that there are all these design decisions about windows and mouse events and file io.
so i decided to start writing operating systems. but low-level languages like c and c++ have lots of really weird design principles.
so i decided to write my own low-level language, but then it turns out those jackasses at intel have been making goofy decisions for like 30 years.
so now i live on a farm in the amish countryside. the community asked me to build a butter churn, but i don't think the design they gave me is very optimal...
