The situation is
made worse since there's so little effective mentoring in the industry
from old-salts who are good at making a religion of the
K.I.S.S. principle and making fun of the wealth of bloated, crappy,
yet slow-to-fail stall-ware projects that dominate so much of the
landscape. If you ask me, explosive growth during the dot-com bubble
really blunted the technology edges of the free software movement and
our industry generally. It left us collectively struggling to do
things the hard way, svn being just one small example.
