I will die on this hill with you.
I would also add that we should be striving to release uncompiled JavaScript, since it is more auditable, more debuggable, and is naturally distributed. Dev dependencies are often basically compilers (Babel, React, TypeScript, Angular, etc), and JS compilers should be avoided if possible.
- partyboat1586 6y agoI still remember working for an old school .Net shop where we wrote raw es5 with one dependency: jQuery. We used discipline to get around the limitations of es5 which came naturally to a team of C++ developers. I probably have my rose tinted glasses on too tight but it felt pretty good and we were very productive.
