Article can be summarised by this quote (which I very much agree with):
> It's very clear from this data that choice of framework is not the primary driver of site performance; just manually looking at the source code for some of these sites, it's clear that it's things like unnecessary dependencies, outdated dependencies, sites running development mode in production, etc.
Personally, I use React, not because it's faster than Angular, but because it's much more pleasant to work with.
- andai 4y agoFor many years I believed that better gear would make me a better artist. I learned the hard way that this just ain't so. I think the same idea applies in this context.
- tshaddox 4y agoSounds like very different ideas. I'm pretty sure having a work environment and tools that are more pleasant to work with will indeed make you a better artist.
- jacksnipe 4y agoIf you’re having trouble learning to paint, but you’re trying to learn with a fork, then you should start by replacing the fork. If you’re having trouble painting because your paintbrush isn’t made of squirrel hair, then you just need to learn to fucking paint.
- cphoover 4y agoDoes squirrel hair make a good paintbrush? Never knew.
- wombatpm 4y agoMy wife claims that the red squirrel hair is better than gray squirrel hair, but I think its because she hates those little red bastards
- justsomehnguy 4y agoMakes me wonder if her opinion would be better if she source it herself.
- egeozcan 4y agoHaving lived in big (and big-ish) cities all my life, it's always a big amusement watching at Youtube the videos of people in the suburbs trying (and failing) to out-smart these intelligent burglars :)
- justsomehnguy 4y agoErm... there is a whole bunch of brushes made with a different animal hair/fur. It matters when you know how to use it. It doesn't if your skill tops at a "line and line and a circe - I drew a person".
- lostcolony 4y agoSo as someone trying to get better at drawing, I will say that the -ease of use- matters tremendously. I'm doing gesture drawings daily now on a Supernote. The ability to use the entire 'page', then hit next page and start a new one, lets me crank them out in a way pen and paper doesn't. Pen and paper -absolutely- is better for trying to capture a likeness, and the actual "quality" of the job at the end is about the same (if it isn't it's probably better), but the sheer ease of use means I do the thing more, which means I'm practicing more, which means I am, indeed, becoming a better artist. The tools have to be suitable to the task (and I don't think anyone is saying the various frontend frameworks are -unsuitable-), but after that ease of use still matters.
- egeozcan 4y agoThat increases your finesse, but the creativity boost usually comes from being able to get bored.
- kderbyma 4y agoI know many artists who are objectively good who much prefer good tools, good paints, etc...sure...they can make do with markers and make it look way better than a non artist....but that's from practice....when they want a masterpiece it won't be from markers and scraps
- bonestamp2 4y agoI prefer to use Angular for the same reason you prefer to use React. It really is personal opinion, both are good and mature frameworks/libraries.
