> Is webpack really considered such a difficult beast
For whatever it's worth, I'm the sort of person who writes makefiles for fun, and I regularly work with the build systems of go, C, rust, java, ruby, python, and javascript.
webpack is easily the most complicated, slow, frightening build system I have ever encountered and I will go far out of my way to avoid it.
- Bellend 5y agoTIL as it's not really something I can say I am an expert on although I am really surprised by the bar height being set by others. Hopefully I will be pleasantly surprised when I try some new tooling in the future!
- llimllib 5y agoIt's also completely possible that I had my brain warped in weird ways by old software, and you'll have your brain warped in your own weird ways that work better in the future. Anyway, I know I'm always glad to have somebody who knows their way around webpack on the team :)
