Committing to Your Code
Mike Mella wrote up an honest blog post about why he doesn’t use Structure. While some of his points were based on an older version of Structure (read the comments to see clarification by Structure’s Jack McDade), I naturally latched on to the larger issue at play: commitment.
Mike claimed that using Structure is a commitment. My response in the comments:
I think using almost any add-on (especially field types) in your site build is a commitment. This isn’t just in the case of Structure.
Essentially, that’s the game we play when building sites (or writing code). Make as many good decisions along the way as possible to ensure the site is usable, flexible and maintainable in the long term. That involves making a commitment to your own code or someone else’s.
