So the modern web is not first class ui development, and JavaScript is not a real language, and the browser is not a real platform.
Classism has no bounds.
It’s entirely possible you’ve written bad UIs with all of those technologies too you know. Afterall, no one has eeever seen a bad desktop application before.
All those compiled type safe languages with native rendering got you some amazing UIs like Microsoft Office suite for decades, right?. All those beautiful java apps for example, right? Everyone’s so full of shit. You guys couldn’t solve it with the exact technologies you are pushing for the web for literally decades.
- read_if_gay_ 6y agoDo you feel like you're worth less because you do frontend webdev? Because you're giving off that vibe hard. (immediately concluding GP is just shitting on webdev, saying "you guys", etc. - btw, do you not think that's classist as well?)
- runawaybottle 6y agoThe commenter pretty clearly made a distinction between those technologies and HTML, I don’t know, inference is often taught early in life in reading comprehension classes. I’m also happy you picked up on the vibes, wasn’t sure if I was being overt enough.
- read_if_gay_ 6y agoIf you feel like that then it's on you though, and basically demotes your posts to merely some insecure person's rambling.
- pjmlp 6y agoI also include Web as part of my UI development services and have been doing it since 1996, most likely longer than you. Classisim are Web developers that don't know any better and can only think of Web as the only way to do UIs. Thankfully most UI/UX experts know their business to think otherwise.
