This is a very ironic comment considering that the soviets, not the US liberated Europe from Germany. They fought the hardest battles, lost the most soldiers, fought for the longer time and were first in Berlin. The public just believes oth

Note that you may have this opinion because you started with jQuery first , and you're already familiar with it. Some things are not at all intuitive for beginners in jQuery, either.

I think it falls into a different category. Lucky in this regard is being in the right situations at the right time.

HTML and CSS were never denigrated. There's not one superficial feature which doesn't make sense. Most of it is barebones. If I had to pick one feature the blows the scope out of proportion, it would be the `is` selector, but that

Why? They are the best layouting tools we have to this day. Or do you want to go back to TextElement textElement = new TextElement(); textElement.position(100, 100); textElement.color(Colors.RED); textElement.alignment(Alignment.

I enjoy christines style of writing very much. I can only recommend it to anyone out there interested in dev ops, rust or nix. Her narrative style and different characters may be a bit jarring at first, but I got used to it pretty fast.

I love modern frontend development. I can build apps that scale easily to hundreds of thousands of users. They are fast where they need to be fast, and building components means complexity lives only where it's needed. Static parts are

I use eleventy with preact. This setup also consists of writing markdown files, with the added convenience of a react-like workflow that generates static html. My entire homepage and blog weigh about 20kb. I really like it.

The above user mentioned what‘s wrong with writing everything from scratch, but you chose to conveniently skip it. Developers stay only for short amount of times compared to the lifetime of the product. New developers inherit all the tech d

I used TinaCMS for pesonal projects. What the Github Page doesn‘t tell you is that it‘s incredibly heavy, and due to it being integrated tightly in your code it‘s shipped in the bundle.js file when using gatsby. There exists an open ticket

So what. I've been a backend dev before I turned to front-end and web stuff. React has like a dozen top level functions and approaches. No backend project I have ever seen was this simple to program. How much more simple does it have t

It's because react works with immutable state. Svelte instead opts for compile-time magicks to handle state. Angular uses decorators to manage state. This has turned out to be an unwise descision because javascript decorators have chan

These giant monstrosities are really easy to avoid. Redux Actions make locating a state change a breeze. I have worked on giant applications that did not use a redux-like approach to state and it was a horrendous mess.

You think that it‘s just reassignment in svelte? I don‘t think so. Counter in this example is likely a proxy object that knows when it‘s changed and tells svelte to re-render. It‘s also not immutable, which can cause very confusing interact
