Front-end web development in 2018 is a fucking dumpster fire. 4 month old blog post guides are out of date, hipster toolchain APIs change monthly, npm can't find a module that is literally right there in its entirety in the fucking node_modules directory. JavaScript is love. JavaScript is life.

    Don't hate javascript but the ecosystem around it is not sensible. Not all of it but the time I have wasted debugging it is insane.

    Well thats why i use only limited packages mostly only parcel, eslint, stylelint and sometimes electron with binding/nativmodules to rust, c++ or c#.

    Best decision ever, i only had some minor headaches with marshaling of values and this is mostly native code.

    "Cannot find [insert node module here]"
    "Oh better do an npm install on that"
    *npm install [insert node module here] --save]
    "Huh...that didn't work..."
    *deletes entire node_modules folder and does global npm install*
    "Mmm perfect, that's better!"
