Excerpt from Web Programming in the Go Language
During the second world war, the Allies in order to provide support for the war, more than in the Pacific islands set up air force base, and support forces to the forces in the form of dropping the islanders to project a lot of articles for daily use and military equipment, which greatly improved the lives of troops and the islanders, the islanders and therefore see the artificial production of clothing, canned food and other goods.
After the war, the base was abandoned and cargo drops stopped. At this time, the islanders did a very natural thing — they dressed up as air traffic controllers, soldiers and sailors, using the baton on the airport to wave the landing signal, staged a ground parade, trying to keep the planes dropping cargo, cargo worship was born.
While the cargo worship programmers don’t wave their batons like the islanders, they copy-and-paste code from sites like StackOverflow, which usually works, with no understanding of how it works.
As a result, they are often unable to extend and modify the code. Similarly, card-worshipping programmers blindly use Web frameworks without understanding either why the framework uses a particular pattern or convention or what trade-offs the framework makes.
