People have a lot of opinions of javascript because it really is the Statue of Liberty. You really can know a subset of Algol and have portable apps in the browser asap. Well gosh darnit, then everyone and their mother is going to come to

Okay? I'm having a lot of fun talking about some of the parts of our circus. I can't change anything. There will be new cult leaders (evangelists) for frameworks, and new cohorts, we can't change the past. Just pay attention

It’s a nuanced topic. If we want to dive in, I can provide a glimpse into the first layer of the anus as we stick our head into it. When we shepherded a lot of sheep into frontend via these courses and boot camps and quasi courses/boot

I push back on stuff like this so developers who feel the feet on their throat from this culture can have some confidence to nudge the boot off. There goes my hero: https://youtu.be/EqWRaAF6_WY

No personal vendetta. We sit here and punch the mysterious air as to why things are the way they are. I thought maybe we'd punch up at something that is plausibly a culprit. I'll admit it may be punching down, since this is just o

I totally get your point. I'll just give you a little color about where I'm coming from. Most products don't need a team of over five frontend/backend devs (so imagine a team of 10 people). Most teams have been over staf

The thing is brilliant UI engineers will stun you with incredible UI. It's almost like not investing in AI, you will get blind sided by products that just look and feel better. Your backend engineers are never going to cut it. This is

Imagine someone made Deno with a corresponding course to go along with it. I would consider that a grift. https://frontendmasters.com/courses/remix/ That was the end goal for this whole thing. I do look at the pri

I think that adds to my point. How does that have so many stars on github? The customers "star" it. Who uses this on a real app? It's alright to slowly accept the bitter truth that grifting scales.

You should ignore all of it. They mostly sell the idea of a developer to you, the same with any marketing. That's what an influencer does, they make you feel good about buying a cheap identity.

Here's one: https://remix.run/ These grifters sell entire courses on the product, that's their game. So when you find an unmaintained Remix app at your company, well, the grifters got the ears of your junior devs

Obama just made a random decision to make a China pivot. We had a large force in the Middle East and instead of just bringing them home, we created this weird apparatus to shift the strategy over to China. This is similar to if your company

The only hope we have is that Trump is a true circus ring master. He cancels the previous admin things and reinstates them with his name and a republican spin.

Yes, we need a blowout midterms. I said this in another comment, and I'll paraphrase again. The Left does not need to win back a single Republican voter. We just need to clearly show their face, and I believe this will be enough to ral

No. Lines being drawn is fine. It's fine to see the faces painted exactly as they are. The Left actually doesn't need to win back any voter from the Right. They just need to passionately show the faces of those on the Right, and t

Can you boil down the Inquisition into one word? I'm confused, so you found an example that works for you and then like, our examples are not workable I guess? I'm very open to you being brilliant with an incredible thesis at hand

if there are only two sides then it's too easy to be a Trump supporter. I'll concede that, that's a great point. However, the key to maintaining a balanced diet is first you must get to a target weight you would like to bal

No, I know how awful my comments are so I expect them to be flagged and downvoted (not really awful, I just can't help but say fuck you to the other side in the current climate). It's better to look at my submissions. Here's

Sounds like nonsense. Again, I asked in another comment for an example of some Rust “web” code that exemplifies what you are talking about. You mentioned “ergonomics”, and you mentioned “noob friendly”. I’d love to see some of this Rust cod

Show me some Rust web code that you think exemplifies what you are talking about. I think your example will speak for itself and close this argument. No reason to go back and forth.
