You don't need a build system during development. I work on a 500.000 line web app, and it has no dev time build step. You check out the source into your web root, and run the app. Edit + f5 is fast enough, no need for smart build systems. Build steps are ofcourse inevitable for the jump into production.
- idlewan 13y agoFor my front-end dev, it's really: (modify Stylus line, save).repeat(500) vs : (modify Stylus line, save, focus terminal, run make (or whatever your build tool is), focus browser window, ctrl-r, focus editor window).repeat(500) Of course, if you're not taking advantage of better tools than pure CSS, it's still: (modify CSS line, save, focus browser window, ctrl-r, focus editor window).repeat(550) You don't NEED livereload, it's just a lot more comfortable.
- Joeri 13y agoWell, maybe my perspective is different because i don't touch css that often, seeing as i use extjs.
