Why you need to insult a whole body of people, rather than just make a claim about the technology, I don’t know.
- eyelovewe 5y agoThere is a significant faction of node.js who, hmmm how shall I say this, I had a js fanatic tell me here in HN that you can write device drivers in js, and that the only thing stopping js from dominating embedded dev was prejudice. Unfortunately, such attitudes color the perception of the entire field, and a technology becomes shorthand for a certain attitude, here’s an example : what do you think of when I say Visual Basic developer? The individual could be highly competent and work somewhere that Visual Basic is the tool, there’s surely a core competence for VB, I know that there is one for js, the frontend web, and certainly node.js has a set of core competencies too
- staz 5y agoso someone told you he was prejudiced against, you respond with more prejudice and then you pretend it's his attitude that colored your perception. Are you for real?
- deleted-account 5y agoProgramming language choice isn't a protected class, it isn't prejudice to say that JS developers are mostly dumb.
- Jonnax 5y agoPrejudice is also an English word that has a meaning unrelated to law. Calling JS developers most dumb is prejudice. The word's meaning is literally spelled out "pre" + "judge".
- deleted-account 5y agoIt's honestly disgusting to see JS developers abuse social justice language in this way. You should be ashamed. Go make a donation.
- tremon 5y agoNode developers are old now?
- erikpukinskis 5y agoI'm 39. Not sure what counts as old for you.
