I guess you never worked on a complicated web app that was 100% jQuery, because web frameworks were not a thing yet.

- ozim 1y agoSecond that. Add to it dev churn each 6 months one dev leaves an new joins full of fresh new ideas how to jquery. In the meantime also 2 freelancers adding their stuff.
- zahlman 1y agoI did, around 15 years ago. It was honestly not that bad.
- ozim 1y agoHow many people did you have on your team? What was employee turn over on the project? How long was the development?
- cweagans 1y agoWhat if I told you that you didn't need jQuery either.
- andix 1y agoUsing the DOM APIs directly? Please do that. Have fun!
- austin-cheney 1y agoI do it and its just not significant. You should try it before evoking a holy war against it.
- cweagans 1y agoWhat if I told you that you didn’t even really need javascript for most things - even more involved web apps. HTML and CSS is plenty for many things.
- austin-cheney 1y agoI was a JavaScript developer for about 15 years and I moved onto something else because most of the people doing the work can't program. Not at all. I got tired of being held hostage by people who couldn't function without more help than they needed. I also get tired of the arguments from ignorance. The you don't know how hard life is type of bullshit arguments. I do know because I have done this work, probably much longer than you, and its not as challenging as you are claiming.
