Going back to the OP: yes, the average engineer is way below average quality.

It is not fixable: that's just how statistics work.

Every now and then, an incredible visionary (individual or group) will appear, produce something of exceptional relevance, and push the boundaries forward.

These visionaries will create their own tools, outside the boundaries of other tools, and will set their own rules/restrictions: they won't be worried about pre-existing rules anyway.

@ocramius why screw up a perfectly interesting post with annoying great-man theory in the end?

@Leomas because it's those people that bring us forward, not the whiny "mom, I don't want to eat my vegetables" mentality, where every average Joe feels self-centred enough to question everything.

Perhaps I didn't frame it correctly.

@ocramius Sheesh, is it still about the package to remove final?

Yes, it's stupid.

No, it's not worth more than one post.

I mean, it's an open secret that Laravel is a hack of a framework and no one who actually understands architecture would use it.

So how exactly is the package to remove finals surprising at all?

Also, how the hell is the last rant about The Chosen Oneā„¢ relevant to any of this?

In short: Move on, pal.
