This reads like nobody involved knows about code review and just commits straight to master. 'Hey this sql is fine but slap an index on name field' is not some shocking development if you just had three rounds of refactoring of a

Any recommendations for introductory level course/book? I'm a web dev and I know next to nothing about PCBs, electronics etc. Ideally I'd like to be able to open up, say tv remote, look at the board and have at least some ide

This comment here is exactly the problem with JS people. If you are making a big thing out of learning(!) cmd(!!!) then you shouldn't be working in software development, period. 7 years is a flex only in a JS world. As others mentioned

That is what you get for using subpar tools that are not fit for the job. Javascript is a garbage language. Javascript on backend is the dumbest idea ever conceived in computing.

Sure, I did not mean you are doing something bad. I just happen to hate JS and Webpack with passion ;)

Problem with webpack is that freeform JS code is not "configuaration". Configuration presumes set amount of features driven by declarative statement. Most of what I've seen done "in Webpack" in fact is shitty script
