Not everything should be beginner friendly. Trying to nerf things because they are not beginner friendly should not be how tools/patterns of languages are designed.
Its ok to have more advanced topic that require more knowledge and that people don’t understand from the first moment they see them.
Amen! One thing which drives me crazy is that most people confuse beginner friendly and user friendly, the two things are absolutely not the same thing. There is nothing wrong with having tools which are beginner friendly, especially for stuff one does once in a while. There is everything wrong with nerving tools which are for pros or even everyday usage: If I use something everyday I have rather an optimization for the mid or long run, than for the first few hours…
Yes and no. I mean sure, if you are going to leverage this to gain a significant edge in the market, that works.
If you add a tool to the project, that you need to understand to maintain some parts of it, which adds to the learning curve of someone joining said team, then the gains have best be worth the effort.
We adopt so many librairies/plugins/tools over time that adding more complexity than you need this way is just terrible.
