I've been coding for over 20 years now! (WOAH, do I feel old)
I've touched just about every resource imaginable under the Sun (too bad they were bought out by Oracle)
Simplicity is key, and I wish more engineers understood this. Good work! I still need to document what I've done, I created an entire PHP based web site and data processing framework. It's as simple as "git clone" to get the base running, but it's still too rough around the edges in some areas. There is extreme value in things this simple though.
Another example, I personally learned to program computers before Google even existed. MSDOS came with QBASIC. Simply open it up, type commands, and hit "run" - it was literally this easy back then to get into programming. But as you've described here, "modern" programming is riddled with development environments and dependency trees that are INSANELY complicated. Why have things gone backwards? We should all work together on minimizing the barrier to entry for new and inspiring engineers!

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
