i dont know frontend or react

now toss in nextjs and pandacss

why the fuck is some box from @styled-system/jsx' possibly squishing the height of an image

why the fuck is my color not being applied to the existing <Image , the existing approach could be wrong

how is it that there's new frameworks and libraries coming out all the time ,but front end development hasn't been solved to be retard proof so i can do it

Actually, your jobs sounds really awesome, you do so much different stuff, you're getting experiences as F. It's a privilege to play with so much stuff. If you ever have to switch job, you have experience with everything. You're a beast.

But when you have to do React, just quit :P That's a step too far :P

I‘m having a lot of fun with frontend. I just chose to not do web frontend anymore.
That’s the secret to staying sane.

@Lensflare you consider yourself sane? For a German maybe. @antigermgerm / @antigermanist does React btw. Hmm.

@Lensflare btw, Germany did something good this time.

@whimsical with ostream it’s really hard to tell if he is a web dev because of his mental condition or if he got his condition because of long term exposure to web dev.

I don’t know if I‘m sane. I like light rather than dark theme. And gui rather than cli.
Maybe sanity is multi dimensional. Maybe sanity is a spectrum. Maybe it‘s just the absence of the feeling to be insane.

All I know is that without web dev, I‘m happy now. And that’s what counts, no?

@Lensflare which dimension do you play chess in?

@sjwsjwsjw I cringed from just reading that. css-in-js is such a cancer, and AFAIK is considered a bad practise now in favour of css modules (finally!). I shall pray for your sanity

@BordedDev in the first 2 dimensions. And that is hard enough already.

A fundamental question. I think it is because it allows just about everyone to post a library, and not everyone has the time, patience, skills or respect that most (are forced to/used to/paid to) have when developing standardized products. Maybe lazy development or lack of time.

"how is it that there's new frameworks and libraries coming out all the time ,but front end development hasn't been solved to be retard proof"

This is an interesting question. I would say that maybe +10 years ago there was some projects that maybe hoped to replace CSS with some other approach and potentially this could evolve into a brand new future of the web (maybe ...like Silverlight) but since then it feels like most have concluded that was not the way to go and as both CSS and DevTools have improved - most frameworks and libs have chosen to go closer to the standard and just argue for things like "regardless of how many layers we put on top of CSS you still gotta learn what display: inline-block means if you wanna debug the size of an element 🤷"
