- woleium 1y ago… who are also relatively inexpensive and easy to find?
- tracker1 1y agoI often wish it weren't the case as much. There's a massive cassum the size of the Grand Canyon between the majority of JS devs and good JS devs that understand the language, and have a good grasp of software craftsmanship. And that doesn't mean stuffing JS based projects with "Enterprise" patterns that don't make sense in the platform being used.
- hajile 1y agoJS devs who started around or just after covid are everywhere. JS devs with 10+ years of experience are a small fraction of the market at this point. JS devs with any number of years of experience who also understand JS (or even just CS in general) well are a minute fraction of JS devs.
- steelbird 1y agoNot everyone wants to become a JavaScript developer.
- DonHopkins 1y agoYet they became a PHP developer. Go figure.
- resource_waste 1y agoBut I can deploy a decent sized Laravel app in about 2 days... I would need to learn the javascript equivalent.
- spdionis 1y agoNormally PHP developers are competent in Javascript but try to avoid it due to the clusterfuck that javascript is, especially the ecosystem.
