you motherfucking cocksucking ass wipes.

How fucking hard is it for you JS cockheads to have STABLE fucking code?

So hear I am, thinking through a side project for data extraction and loading to automate some shitty part of my job, that could be used by the broader team... and decide to use electron.... I know it's a clusterfuck, but this wouldn't be a big application, so against my better judgement I run:

npm install electron
npm start
...
Error: unknown spawn

🤷‍♂️ you had 1 fucking job... 1 fucking lousy shit stain of a job, and you can't even have something run out of the god foresaken box without someone debugging your shit.

Now who has a WORKING alternative to electron?

rant

nodejs

my mistake

js devs are all the rage

your shit ass code

electron

    That’s my favorite kind of JS developer.

    Use the right tool for the right job. If you need to do anything with data, extraction, transformation, manipulation, splitting, merging... In an automated way, look at apache NiFi: https://nifi.apache.org

    @NeatNerdPrime this isn't entirely automated and the data will need to be configurable depending on use case, which can be solved from a user friendly GUI.

    The idea is to have a NoSQL DB holding templated data per use case, manipulating that through a GUI if required, which could result in several related records being created at the other end which can be used to seed dev/test environments with usable data rather then spending time manually generating the data, just click a button and bam your ready to go.

    Plus this is more for me to do something on the side which can be reused later.

    @NeatNerdPrime So, Electron is not the right tool if you need to start it? Checks out. I mean, that's where it already fails.

    Glad i'm not the only one who often spends many very frustrating hours doing a "5 minute" NPM install!

    As a JS developer, I understand you, and am sorry on his/her behalf. We don't deserve to be treated so well. JS allows us to scale up too quickly, and so we must be held to a higher standard.

    Why do you have to use electron? Can't you just build a web app? Plenty of great stable stuff there!

    Nah man blaming all JS Devs on electron is quite the stretch.
    I would say 50% of us will fight that shit for the exact reason you just mentioned. It's the point-to abomination you show someone who is on a "JSHigh", those people who think that everything can and should be coded in JS.

    And if I learned anything in my time as a JSDev is that to rarely use npm packages. Only exception are packages like express that are well maintained AND unopinionated.
