I lost my love for the web
- eimrine 4y agoWho on the Earth might forbid you to build your blog on React or do something with your CSS?
- pastage 4y agoYou should never just listen to the negative people then your will to live dies. Listening only to yes sayers is no better. There is always going to be nudging and shaming for non comformative choices, like using facebook vs irc. Rise above that and do not judge people who argue about it (I do not always live how I teach but 80% is enough to be sane)
- pwdisswordfish9 4y ago> Want to build your blog in React for fun? Nope. That's overkill and now you're a terrible developer. I also like forcing people to download megabytes of JavaScript over their slow connections, then have it drain the batteries of their low-power devices, and leave those people with pretty much no recourse or say in the matter. How dare those evil naysayers criticize me for BUILDING things! Do they perhaps have a point about inefficient technology driving up planned obsolescence and exacerbating wealth inequality? No, of course not, they are just nasty HATERS.
- beardyw 4y agoI can't help but feel this is more about feedback itself. I first built a commercial website in 2000. There was no feedback or awareness of approaches then. Thank goodness because it was barely working and not secure. There were no js frameworks. Life was good. My last job before I retired I watched a decent working system descend into chaos from grasping all the next big things (which are no longer a thing at all) driven by a need to beef up marketing materials (and probably CVs). The change is awareness, not so much the right or wrong of the choices.
