waiting the 10 seconds it takes to build a javascript frontend these days always leaves me reminiscing about my highschool days of editing my javascript in notepad and refreshing my browser to instantly see my mistakes.
I understand there are benefits and reasons for the state of affairs...
- EarthLaunch 6y agoI just started using Snowpack and it is a godsend. It’s an anti-bundler that puts separate modules into a directory. Between that and using vscode remote SSH onto my server environment, it’s almost like the old days of save-refresh, but with auto refresh!
- taf2 6y agowait i still do that but in vim...
- falcolas 6y ago10 seconds... heh. We have build times in the dozens of minutes thanks to a decision in the past to use Dart.
- dkersten 6y agoI don't even have to refresh the browser to see my changes! (I use clojurescript with shadow-cljs, but similar tools with incremental rebuild and live reload exist for javascript)
- cameronfraser 6y agoif its taking 10 seconds to rebuild then I doubt the bundler is the problem, I get near instant updates on changes with a fairly vanilla react/webpack setup
- johnisgood 6y agoI saw the results immediately after I modified the files. I did not even have to refresh the page when I was making stuff with Vue.js.
