I agree, but it is the natural progression.
I saw this in the COMPONENT based world. VB had DLL hell.
In Delphi, I LOVED how loading my components was so easy, and integrated into the IDE.
20 years later, we have removed 90% of the components we used to have. We only buy ones with source.
And we are VERY VERY picky about adding new ones.
Because, you can't just upgrade your IDE, it breaks a lot. Then you have old projects that are suddenly compiled with a new compiler and components. And suddenly various components are using different Zip libraries that have to load... And it starts all over again.
And frameworks make it worse. We end up not updating the frameworks because of the amazing level of risks. And potentially in EVERY PROJECT, not just the one you are working on now, but an older one you have not touched in a while. (One of the key arguments FOR Testing based development, and ANOTHER argument for a project controlling what loads in the IDE).. Oh, it is so complicated. All of these tradeoffs...

I actually despair of this, sometimes.
Fine, so frameworks can save you a Hell of a lot of work, because you're reusing tested code (essentially, it can be the same as using "visual" anything, where all the pretty stuff is pre-made, ready for you to use), but all too often a framework is imported in place of writing no more than 20 lines of bespoke code that will do what is needed and no more.

The number of times I've seen jQuery included just to get the contents or value of a _single element_ is frightening. The required JS is often shorter than the link to the library, never mind the jQuery code itself.

Err...I can only guess that you are not in fact familiar with the vast array of technologies introduced by Microsoft itself over the years.
Much less the other libraries that can be added to it, now and in the past.
And although your original post isn't clear perhaps you have never had an opportunity, before, to work on an application with a long life time.

Attach one to her phone of course! Then when she loses her phone...

but then she will probably lose that once she finds her phone.

You appear to be confused about the difference between a good book on programming management and a good thing to do with a program management book.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I'm asked to write a jquery plugin this morning. It's to implement some functionality we already have but would be cool to have in a plugin.
It's not that I mind writing the plugin at all. It's just that we have a demo for our tablet program on the 27th and I'm out Thursday and Friday next week, and the intention of the conversation was to get more of those items to work on (because I have finished the other stuff).
There was mention of the weekend, but I'm not doing that. That other chump keeps saying he's goina "focus on this" all weekend, but still hasn't written any code on the project.
I think he should write the plugin and I should work on more tablet stuff.

My first interview with a promising company went pretty well.
I have an interview with another on the 5th, since they do meetings on thursdays and I'm weighing in next week in Missouri. It's a pretty awesome company an old coworker buddy works at. They know my old boss and all that.

Good luck on your interviews. I hope they will ask you only things you know
