Framework Fatigue : pourquoi les devs continuent d'utiliser une stack qu'ils critiquent ?

… parce que… vous avez vos raisons que j’ignore. Et bien le cerveau des développeurs ne va pas se recâbler pour lire le Rust aussi vite que Claude Opus peut inférer la base de code. Si vous n’êtes pas codeur ou codeuse, imaginez que c’est comme lire du néerlandais alors que vous connaissez l’allemand. Chaque ligne de code demande un effort cognitif. On a le cerveau qui chauffe, les oreilles qui deviennent rouges. C’est une dette cognitive. La DSI n’a pas acheté que le code. Elle a acheté la connaissance des développeurs pour le maintenir, leur compréhension du métier pour faire évoluer l’applicatif. Sinon il suffirait d’externaliser le projet à l’autre bout du monde. Le biais de coût irrécupérable est un pilier de la framework fatigue. Imaginez que vous avez une vieille voiture. C’est la votre depuis 10 ans. À force vous connaissez tous ses défauts et vous avez même appris à changer certaines pièces d’avance. Cette voiture coûte de l’argent chaque jour et vous fait perdre du temps. À chaque fois qu’elle cale, à chaque fois qu’elle tombe en panne. Vous pourriez la remplacer par une voiture moderne en location, elle ne vous couterai pas plus chère et la maintenance serait comprise dans le prix. Mais vous ne pouvez pas parce que vous avez déjà dépensé votre argent dans l’entretien de la vieille voiture. C'est un coût irrécupérable. Un “sunk cost” en anglais. Chaque jour où vous avez travaillé avec Next, investi du temps pour vous intéresser au framework est irrécupérable. Et pourtant c’est à chaque fois une journée que vous auriez pu investir dans un framework qui vous rendrait heureux. Et puis pragmatiquement, aujourd’hui votre sécurité de l’emploi c’est d’avoir 4-5 ans d’expérience sur Next et React. Si vous changez de stack du jour au lendemain, il est probable que cet argument de vente devienne caduque. Pourtant votre connaissance du build d’une application web, de typescript,
