Retarded point of view: "Angular is great for enterprise because it enforces good coding practices and makes developers more efficient."

BULLSHIT. This is the biggest lie and people die on their stupid Angular hills with this. It's about team culture, regardless of framework or language.

I've seen some messy as FUCK Angular code that takes a dev way more time to do a basic thing than it should. Angular is not more resistant to technical debt than any other JS thing.

"But TypeScript." Utterly useless if you're just adding any for every object and variable.

Angular is no better than vanilla JS.

I dare you, challenge my point of view.

    I do not have experience with angular but I do agree on typescript part. Wanna know how much type issues I have using js? None! Zero!

    Any language is a functional language if you try hard enough. Any language is oop if you try hard enough. etc.

    But also I like types because other people are shitty programmers

    It’s absolutely a myth—Angular doesn’t enforce good coding practices at all. After four years of maintaining multiple Angular + .NET projects, I found myself neck-deep in a swamp of `any` types, inline CSS tangled in massive HTML files, bloated functions stretching hundreds of lines, duplicated code everywhere, outdated packages, and zero tests.
    And the backend? Just as chaotic as the frontend.
    No, not because other devs were bad, it's what enterprises do, fuck up everything they touch. Yes, I became spiritually allergic to the word enterprise and it drained every ounce of motivation I had left to ever code professionally again.

    angular increases complexity. complexity demands more people, more people mean more jobs, more jobs mean better economy. angular is good for the economy.

    what 10 idiots broke requires 100 idiots to fix. what 100 idiots broke requires 1000 idiots to fix. what 1000 idiots broke requires 10,000 idiots to fix. and not a single idiot is fixing things, they're just adding more bugs. an ouroboros of terrible code that keeps the economy going

    @atheist shitty or just sloppy or lazy. I love strongly typed languages.

    @bedawang I'm sorry you had to go through that :(

    Luckily the place I work at listens to complaints about code quality, and doesn't mind me making things more maintainable. My boss was a programmer herself, so she gets it.

    I do like typescript when a codebase is larger on business logic/concepts. The type system still gets in the way some times but it aids the development more often (auto complete, suggestions, interfaces say what they need).

    I've never used it in a private project by choice.

    Nothing enforces better coding. Nothing. Otherwise we'd replace every language and every tool with ones that enforce better coding.

    It’s made of code. Worse, it's made of JavaScript. Developers can make a mess of it and they will, as fast as they can.
