Awesome!
I love bootstrap. I know it's not as cool these days, but it still lets me put together a passable (albeit generic) UI quickly, to present whatever it is I'm actually trying to do to the user in a way they will recognise.
I don't want to spend my time building all of that myself, of learning a UI framework, I want to spend it building functionality, and then using Bootstrap (which I know like the back of my hand at this point) to present the functionality.

- jmkni 8y agoReminds me of the very old Joel Spolsky blog post, Fire and Motion - https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2002/01/06/fire-and-motion/ https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2002/01/06/fire-and-motion/ > I noticed how almost every kind of military strategy, from air force dogfights to large scale naval maneuvers, is based on the idea of Fire and Motion. It took me another fifteen years to realize that the principle of Fire and Motion is how you get things done in life. You have to move forward a little bit, every day. It doesn’t matter if your code is lame and buggy and nobody wants it. If you are moving forward, writing code and fixing bugs constantly, time is on your side. Watch out when your competition fires at you. Do they just want to force you to keep busy reacting to their volleys, so you can’t move forward? Still as relevant as ever.
