Choose Shipping Over Using the Latest Shiny Framework

Oh yeah! False dichotomy and praise of the duct-tape programmer ("The most important thing is shipping"). There is no progress in software engineering, just continuous adaption to broken processes.

So, using a shiny framework, which probably will not work (again!) is "progress"? And using proven methods to ship is what "duct-tape programmers" do? I see a false dichotomy here, but not in the article.

"Shipping" vs. "Using the Latest Shiny Framework" is a false dichotomy whichever way you look at it.
