My experience with frontend people is that they don't think twice about adding random libraries they just found that was released month ago. Also their projects are unmaintainable after one year, but they are long gone by that time and new developers arguing that they need to rewrite everything.
I really hate small libraries and in my projects I tend to rewrite lots of trivial stuff, but that keeps me comfortable.
- antisthenes 2y agoLooks like they found a way to unionize and achieve job security in a very roundabout sort of way.
- whstl 2y agoYeah, good point, for frontend, influencer code is definitely already leaking.
- soundnote 2y agoDHH's plain JS, plain CSS obsession was right all along?
- whstl 2y agoI wouldn't call it exactly right "all along", after years of him and the Rails team jumping bandwagons and having Prototype, Scriptaculous, jQuery, CoffeeScript, SASS, Sprockets with Babel, Webpack and then whatever is there now shipping as defaults in Rails, along with lots of other stuff. But he's been reasonable in the last couple years, sure.
