Watching a cookery program and it made me think it must be hard being a chef.

Then it made me think that being a web developer is a bit like cooking.

You have your ready meal equivalent with WordPress and Wix.

You have your cook at home kits with front-end frameworks like bootstrap and foundation.

You have your recipes and ingredients with package managers like npm and JavaScript modules.

Then you have your own home made cooking using vanilla js, CSS and HTML made to your own liking.

Just like being a good chef, being a good web developer is about knowing what ingredients and methods to include, but also what to leave out, to get the best result!

    Software development is like cooking, even if something is perfectly crafted, it can still be disgusting on a personal level.

    And you have the guy that cultivated his own fucking plants, mined his coal, mold his bricks to make a fireplace to cook. This guy is me, the one that does web servers in C++

    Luckily I just ate something, otherwise I'd have been hungry by now.
