Agreed. There's plenty of obtuse indecipherable JavaScript these days. I keep remembering this code I saw in 2014. It was in ember and used mongodb and some bizarre ember features I've long forgotten to stylize things instead of conventional stylesheets. I had been doing JavaScript since it was called LiveScript in 1995. I knew it very well. This setup was utterly impenetrable. Charging a button color required I think 6 or so different data stores to be manually updated and placed back in alignment because things were validating and cross checking for no good reason other than being a complicated pile of tangled messes. I had to quit the job. I know how incredible this sounds. I can prove it. He does everything like this. Here you go https://github.com/davideschiera/flame-ui/tree/master https://github.com/davideschiera/flame-ui/tree/master ... I'm not quite sure what these 252 files do but I'm pretty sure it could be done in about 25 lines of code in a single function. I had worked with him previously on a C# codebase almost 20 years ago now. I remember him being just as insane but somehow the language successfully encapsulated the insanity so I never had to deal with it. There's this fundamental clash. I think things should work, be maintainable, and have the most minimally complex implementation possible - the Ernest Hemingway approach. Some people prefer James Joyce.
