what's up with backend devs getting on rants about frontend frameworks? Don't they use frameworks for developing their precious servers? or do they just write the whole thing from scratch?

Shit tards, frontend development is evolving and for the better, we've got awesome frameworks that help us reduce the amount of code we need to write to attain a functionality and in a way that reduces headaches when building a large application and gives superb consistent performance because the code has been production tested a million times! yeah you can use js to build a frontend because its JS it's what it was designed to do, but tell me how reinventing the wheel everytime you make a frontend is useful, and how that is maintainable in the long run when building a large production frontend?

The modern frameworks, help us write modular and reusable components that can be shared and used by anyone for any of their application. They are arming the web with capabilities that are close to what native apps offer and still you keep bitching about it.

    I hate backend frameworks, I hate frontend frameworks, because unless you use something popular by one of the major corporations, they can be dropped and replaced overnight (think Lpad issue)

    But yes reinventing the wheel is not a great thing to do but when the frameworks can’t or won’t handle your edge cases well, or you have a lot of edge cases to deal with, you’re still left to reinvent the wheel.

    Also now I have a massive part of the project dependent on A 3rd party to maintain, and we all know how well wordpress works.
