The last week, after I finished my first article (here is a link to go) I started a simple project just for implement some stuff that I read and le...

AHH so you mean bootstrapping.
Last week a spent 3h building what react-create-app does in 5seconds, because I wanted to learn webpack. I have many yes of full stack web development,as a context.
My answer is not related to the Devs experience or knowledge,but instead of the purpose.
Are you building a product that needs to be online by tomorrow,and you want bulletproof setup because you are getting paid? OR you already did the bootstrapping job many times. Yes, use it.
Are you building a project to learn? Then learn,open an empty file and start learning and building. Answer is no. For learning projects.
haha, yeah, I searched in google for the name of these plugins or how can I name it and only find Scaffolding and Generators.
So true, I agree with you. A great time saver when you need it and if you have a good understanding of how it works. Thanks for the comment :)!
Great post, thanks.
I'm reminded of some tips in the book, the pragmatic programmer.
"Don't program by coincidence" and "beware evil wizards"
Both advise understanding the code and tools you use.
A lot of truth in those words. Thanks! :)
Hi,
You've some broken links here:
And here too:
I guess you've written the markup like this:
The double parentheses caused the links to render like:
Kindly, remove the additional parentheses to correct the output.
OK, my comment is totally unrelated to the topic of your post. Good post btw, keep it up ;)
My mistake, an apology. Already solved and thank you very much. Regards! :)!
Hi Carlos,
When I start to use a new tech, I always try to avoid the "starter kits" because they often use a lot of advanced concept that I don't understand yet. But when you have experimented some of these concepts, starter kits are more efficient.
Moreover, I think scaffolding is a good way to focus on business logic more than non-fonctional logic.
Great article, keep it up! :)
Hi and thank you very much!
I agree with you.
I do the same in the same situation. I always try to avoid them, this to focus on know how it works and the workflow that the tech has. That makes me take fully understanding of the tech.
Adding to your comment, I think scaffolding gives to you the opportunity to, once you understand the tech, know how more tools of the tech work and get some idea of how you can implement in your project, and in the way, how bootstrapping in an efficient way.
Maybe good for learning, but scaffolding is the ultimate form of redundant coding and carries all the problems of copying-and-pasting.
The unfortunate world of boilerplate code
I was reading articles on this site for a while now and I have never seen such a poor quality article yet... No offense but you are not experienced enough to teach others, also stop trying to sound clever by using words you don't fully understand. Furthermore, PLEASE CHECK YOUR GRAMMAR before posting...
This was highly unnecessary to be honest. You could have just passed your comment constructively without sounding condescending. The author clearly stated their inexperience and wasn't appearing to sound like a know-it-all.
Thanks for your comment, I fully understand what are you saying. I'm starting on this and I just trying to share my point of view about this, I never try to teach anything. And, about my grammar, thanks for your feedback. In the next article, I will be more careful with that, wrote an article is a way to practice my English, is not my native language. Again, thanks for your feedback :)
I think for learning you really need to start with the basics and get your hands dirty.
Reading about a concept is very different to building it. You'll take in and retain more of that information if you actually build the solution.
Once you've built it and understand the subtleties of how it works, then next time you can reuse what you've built or learnt, or use a scaffold to get started so you can move onto learning to build something else.
