Manager: In ALL cases if someone uses vanilla javascript to do something instead of a library then that is a sign they are an ABSOLUTE BEGINNER!!!

Dev: …

See you in dependency hell manager man.

Not even members of the npm church would be so dumb

Using modulo to check for even numbers?

Fuck you.

https://npmjs.com/package/is-even/

@swagnette And here is the source code for that package. https://github.com/i-voted-for-trum...

'use strict';

var isOdd = require('is-odd');

module.exports = function isEven(i) {

return !isOdd(i);

};

The description of the repo says this was a learning project rather than a serious library though.

Alrighty then.
If I catch you using a js keyword like "try" or "catch", or god forbid "function", then what?

Is this a manager who wrote something in VBA and is now expert on all programming?

Reminds me one colleague who asked me once:

A: Why you using jQuery, it is dead.

B: This is WordPress, jQuery is already in there.

A: You can use whatever you want.

B: Deep truth, i want use what is already in there.

@nitnip that was a perfect lesson on what to not do

@electrineer How do you cancel a push?

Unnecessary libraries lead to complexity. Making simple problems complex, and then using even more complex solutions to solve the inflated complexity is the sign of a successful IT Manager.

@swagnette I can't "even"... I can't "odd" either...

@electrineer to be fair, if his github bio is to be trusted, he's gone on to fully commit to open source and participates in a lot of stuff after learning to program in his late thirties.

Despite how memey is-even and is-odd are, it's very respectable.
