Meanwhile, you are having to tell me Java package management is actually better because... it has profiles
I think that Java guys might have their heads too far up their asses
- kaba0 4y agoNo, we have just worked with huge enterprise applications for 20 years and attempted to get the build system right a few times already, learning from previous attempts — as opposed to creating some mess of ad-ridden (seriously — having terminal ads, are we crazy?!!), slow (windows literally chokes up on deleting the node_modules folder, which is not a rare operation), displaying some insane number of vulnerabilities no matter what, which is also due to having way too many too small packages, and every one bringing in a huge deal of other bullshit tiny dependencies. Oh, did you know that maven wasn’t hit by those dependency confusion attacks, being almost alone in that? Also, I can literally build a million lines repo faster than the frontend which is relatively small and just outputs goddamn js and css files..

My UI type-checks, transpiles, and stores itself as an NGINX container or a static bundle on my CI in 1min10, so I'm going to go ahead and press X to doubt. > windows There's your problem!
