Evidently Evan You was an Art History + Studio Art and major and at Parsons School he had to pick up javascript to quickly show his work. During a stint at Creativelab5 at Google, he was so inspired to improve on AngularJS experience that he came up with Vue and the rest is history.
I have no idea what this Cloudflare acquisition will ultimately mean but I know I am so very grateful for the beautiful frameworks/tooling Evan and his team have cranked out over the years.
- jamwise 4mo agoEvan has done really great work. I haven't used Vue extensively (not my company's stack) but am a huge fan of Vite and it has helped our React pipeline a lot. I've also recently started playing around with CloudFlare pages and workers and it's already such a pain-free process to get basic apps up and running, I imagine this collab will make my life easier.
- mikestorrent 4mo agoPerhaps one learning here is that people should train on recognizing elegance and aesthetics first before building frameworks
- CharlieDigital 4mo agoReally good talk that goes over this: https://corecursive.com/vue-with-evan-you/ https://corecursive.com/vue-with-evan-you/ Totally worth the listen.
- brikym 4mo agoSimilar story with Rich Harris of Svelte. He had no tech background but learned js to power data visualizations for his work in journalism.
- icemelt8 4mo agoThis is the story with most frontend developers, they are not usually from a typical computer science background.
