I should probably rephrase that part, because yes you are right, they are real developers. But there is this misunderstanding that what they do is simple and it couldn't be further from the truth.
So off they go and try to prove that perception wrong by piling on the complexity.
- adt2bt 7y agoI don’t think added complexity is a ‘feature’ us front end devs strive for. Instead, there are a lot of useful UX abstractions that are increasingly expected by users and are becoming extraordinarily tricky to roll on your own. Yeah there’s tons of extra crap, but the 8000+ projects in most node_modules has become more or less the standard library for that projects developer. It’s nuts, but JavaScript is the Wild West so it’s what we deal with.
- buboard 7y agoi think it is more likely that "real" developers who started working as web devs missed the hierarchical ecosystem and built up one out of straws. Of course, that's a cargo cult.
