What I find most interesting as a JavaScript developer is that almost no open source projects will touch the stupidity of giant SPA frameworks. Seriously, if you are writing software on your own time why burn that time away digging in the trash?
On the contrary JavaScript developers that don’t contribute to open source cannot write two lines of code without some disgustingly bloated framework and a million dependencies to do half their job for them. You can’t even get hired without completely caving into the stupidity. It feels like cult membership lighting money on fire.
- phist_mcgee 5y agoYeah dude this overgeneralisation is not cool. I'm a JS dev, and you're insinuating that since I don't write FOSS, I am a brainless monkey who glues frameworks together. Classic elitism, and it shows your hand as a gatekeeper. Not cool.
- austincheney 5y agoNot exactly. I am insinuating you are a brainless monkey if you need a ginormous SPA framework to build a simple web page with a couple click events. > Classic elitism, and it shows your hand as a gatekeeper. Not cool. Cry me a river. I am not being elitist by suggesting you should learn to do your job. I really don't care how uncool it sounds or how many tears you shed. I am not sure what you or the downvote brigade want here. Do you want me to feel sorry for you?
