"Hard" or just frustrating? I have found the latter to be true. You're not solving difficult technical problems; you're fighting your tools and figuring out the quirks of the hundreds of abstractions and third party libraries you rely upon to make widgets do their thing.
- milesvp 9y agoHard isn't the right word. Unnecessarily complex is more accurate. What I've seen in js mirrors a lot of what I saw in php 10 years ago. JS is now the easy language to get into, and so it has the most inexperienced devs with the least access to greybeards to at least show them what to avoid. The result is people who don't quite realize how insane the whole toolchain is. I've got a setup at work that makes make seem like a friendly dev requirement.
