I imagine your work does web dev - node maybe? In which case, the tooling/deployment/dependencies are now the hardest part.
All that cruft, wiring, and arcane commands/configurations piled like infinite turtles one on top of the other.
I can't imagine just now jumping into web dev. It must be like archeology. You'd need to go one era-layer at a time to understand what and why things are this way.
It wasn't like this in the bad old days - we created a monster.
- bbcbasic 10y agoI had an interview a few years back where they wanted to know not just what is was the state of the art (latest JQuery features etc.) but what was added and when historically! They wanted someone who was totally on the ball with the stacks going back in time (and with presumably a better memory for that stuff than me!)
- twblalock 10y agoI do backend software in Java. I hate web dev.
- mistermann 10y agoVery good point that you rarely hear mentioned, supporting all of this stuff is going to be an absolute nightmare. Companies thought supporting end-user created Access database apps were bad, wait until it's time to deal with these rube goldberg web apps people have created using hundreds of different toolsets.
