Could you elaborate on what the barometer/measuring stick for what makes a project real life?
I think I know what you mean. Bigger than ____ lines of code/files I'm guessing?
X number of classes/interfaces/APIs?
- chenmike 4y agoNot GP but I would never use bare JS again for anything other than maybe like a 20 line script, for the same reasons as GP
- munchbunny 4y agoNot the parent poster, but… the size of the codebase is for sure a criterion, but also code I have to continuously maintain or add to, or code written by a team where I have to read others’ code and vice versa.
- FractalHQ 4y agoSorry, “real life project” was a poor metric. I suppose I meant anything where bugs would have a negative impact on the world — either a business or individual. Realistically though, anything that I’m expected to spend more than 20 minutes working on. I’m quite the extremist when it comes to languages and highly opinionated in general. I compulsively rewrite JS into TS and 100% of the repos I work on have “allow-js” set to false in the tsconfig. It seems to be fueled by the same “OCD” I get when designing UI, organizing css, or making music for example.
