  • I had a general positive overview about Yanis Varoufakis work since his first blog posts about his collab with valve (at that point I was just a lib), and even after becoming more familiar with Marxism and some of Lenin works (I’m still very green on theory overall) I’d still think that his points about the current euro economies were useful to understand.

    But then about 10 months ago I saw him talking with someone online and explaining this “techno feudalism” rationalization and he completely lost me.





  • I get what he means and in most points I agree (I’ve worked primarily as a front end dev so far in my career), but as you get more familiar with these frameworks they tend to be so much faster to iterate on compared to a more “cleaner” setup. I’ve seen plenty of situations where using such frameworks were clearly overkill, but were still much faster to setup and were ready to be expanded on if needed in the future. Everything about the package ecosystem on web dev he’s 100% on point though. Things like the left pad situation are insane.
