I’m not even that old (early 30s) and I curse at 99% of the tech I use. Especially tech that we use to build other tech. I started my career as a software engineer writing C, then C++ working on desktop software. Things made sense back then, and that was just 10 years ago. I’ve tried contributing features to two Electron-based apps. I gave up on both. I just can’t make sense of it. I’ve sat down countless times over the last decade telling myself I’m going to teach myself this damn frontend web stuff. I gave up every time. It’s ridiculous. Young folks who have only been exposed to modern garbage have no idea how good it was before the web took over. I often wonder how this came to be. How we went from well-documented, efficient, sound APIs and libraries to the monstrosity that we have now. I have nothing to offer though.
