“My Brain is Full”
Frank Chimero“Two Sentences About
Getting Older and Working on the Web”
It is time to come clean:
Github is confusing, Git is confusinger, pretty much everything in a modern web stack no longer
makes sense to me,
and no one explains it well, because they assume I know some fundamental piece of information that
everyone takes for granted and no one documented,
almost as if it were a secret that spread around to most everyone some time in 2012,
yet I some how missed,
because—you know—life was happening to me,
so I’ve given up on trying to understand,
even the parts where I try to comprehend what everyone else is working on that warrants that
kind of complexity, and now I fear that this makes me irrelevant,
so I nestle close to my story that my value is my “ideas” and capability to “make sense of things,”
even though I can’t make sense of any of the above—but really, maybe I’m doing okay, since it’s
all too much to know.
Let the kids have it.
Anybody else?
