Post: Why you should be skeptical about "don't use X"

[kettanaito]

• People often preach about discouraging certain APIs (don't use for, don't chain .map().filter())
• Those points often miss the context, leading people to believe the API itself is bad.

It's not. All APIs and patterns have a place to be. While this article would state what appears obvious things, "obvious" is relative, and I believe this kind of pragmatic thinking is something people should write more often about.
