Tools that use a GUI are just as good (if not better) than their CLI equivalents in most cases. There's a certain kind of dev that just gets a superiority complex about using CLI stuff.

GNU make is confusing as hell and shouldn't be used in today's world.

If you don't add comments, even rudimentary ones, or you don't use a naming convention that accurately describes the variables or the functions, you're a bad programmer. It doesn't matter if you know what it does now, just wait until you need to know what it does in 6 months and you have to stop what you're doing an decipher it.

Dynamically typed languages don’t scale. Large project bases become hard to maintain, read and refactor.

Basic type errors which should be found in compilation become runtime errors or unexpected behavior.

Composition over inheritance has become a meme that people repeat without understanding. Both have their uses, but if composition is all you use, then you're using a hammer on everything. There is no silver bullet in life and most undeniably not in programming.

Also, electron has a reason for existing. If it didn't have a use, it wouldn't have the number of users it has. You can't tell me in all seriousness that Qt, Gtk, Swing, Tkinter is easier to use than electron for the common developer.

Using single character variable names is always bad practice
