Yeah, like one of the companies I briefly worked for. An outdated hell of WordPress, with no package.json, no linters, no formatters, copy & pasted / vendored dependencies, lot of NIH home built libraries, no tests, no framework other than jQuery, no automation (we built scss from the CLI because "we don't need to complicate it with scripts", and absolute negationism about any "shiny new tool" if it was less than 20 years old. The only people that stayed there were the ones happy to work in those conditions, or that haven't seen anything better.
Those places still exist, sadly.
- nullfish 4y agoDid the company make money? That's the reality of it. You don't need shiny frameworks or any of those tools to make money. Are developers happy with it? Maybe! Nothing wrong with spicing up a site with a little jQuery. Heck, I used Alpine.js on a brand new site and it's great. No build step, just works!
