@devJs flex and grid have done great things, but sometimes css still does the weird stuff that makes absolutely no sense.
-
@AleCx04 I wholeheartedly agree. Lingers can be just an odd bit
-
My assumption is... Because many don't know the more intricate parts either. It's a pattern I noticed throughout many blogs. May it be because of the lack of time, interest or even intellect, they usually regurgitate content others laid out a hundred times before. Can't blame many of them, though. I lack the intellect and zeal to get into the fine detail of things. I can only describe myself as an inept code monkey.

My questions on stackoverflow. Dozens. And I had to answer them myself anyway. I rarely look it up anymore, not because I'm a good dev but it sure has become grating to search for an actual answer.

I'm bewildered, when eslint tells me that adding the type of a variable is wrong because it gets statically inferred just because I initialize it with a value. Dude, it's typescript. Let me add my types to a typed language. I don't care if you consider it superfluous or noise. I'm writing code for people.
-
@Wisecrack You wish. I can't even make changes in existing libraries to make them fit my needs. Try to beat that. I always have to hack something subpar myself.
-
@Datamind probably me. Unironically.
-
Hardly a hot take. I prefer working with anyone who knows their css rather than a framework. So you do you, my guy.
-
@NoToJavaScript Did you take a gander at odometer? Probably not. As I said, I had my own implementation, it did count up but odometer has this "rolling number" animation they so desperately wanted. It works nicely for its intended purpose, but whenever it ends on a zero it deletes it.

Because most Recruiters barely share enough genetic material to be classified as human. They merely see how high the commissions for a successful recruiting can be, which immediately disables all neurons in their brain.
Seasoned recruiters have memorized a whole slew of words they unleash at their unsuspecting victim. They themselves often don't know what this is about, but they don't have have to.
Less experienced recruiters have barely finished their compulsory education and yet managed to snag a degree from some unfortunate place. Their insecurities are enormous and they lack the impressive vocabulary to assault their victims with. -
@100110111 Never stop being awesome, bud.

@Hazarth I'm old(er) and naive, that's my issue. I challenged myself, went back to college, got my bachelor's in order to better my life circumstances. I spent (I avoid the word waste for now) years of my life and sweat and tears. I know I'm not even mediocre, I just get my job done and try to better myself each time when I learn something in the context of my applications or even out of my own curiosity. But being exposed to the Dev world has shown me a whole lot of awful stuff. It feels hostile, elitist with little regard for people who simply don't feel like offering their entire being to this fast-changing world. I'm not shaming the ones who do, it's great to be passionate but the Dev World seems to have an incredibly intense dislike to everything that doesn't live up to their perceived standards.

@bagfox
You made me chuckle, thanks for that~ -
@100110111
Always and genuinely happy to read your comments. But yeah, I'm salty. Software Dev is already a convoluted mess, employers expecting you to become a master in all disciplines, sacrifice every waking hour to learn... everything on your own time and yet you have fellow Devs that make people like me feel truly bad about themselves. -
@N00bPancakes It actually does. It means more cognitive overhead.
-
It's currently simply becoming more... REACT-ive. Bad pun here, but currently react and by extension, Facebook seems to influence how the future of web dev looks like. And mobile dev... and so on.
-
That's just... well. I feel the interns shouldn't even dabble with Angular or ANY framework, to begin with, unless they show some level of basic skill. They seem to lack the fundamentals.
-
@100110111 Thanks. I know you're a tiny minority of people that says this outright and means it.
It's not like I have large history with Angular. I remember my boss sitting me down and asking for a PoC but done in Angular (v.5 back then) "because it looks a bit like Java". I liked it but was always bewildered by the sheer hate Angular gets from people. Online polls like from Stackoverflow make it appear like Angular was forced onto people and ate their offspring. Vue was also fun to work with for a small project I had to do, because the templating reminded me so much of Angular with its directives. It could do so much more than react out of the box. But you don't see too many companies asking for that particular framework, despite its online cred.
And I'm no rxjs guru, but patterns like Observer Pattern are so easily done with it. I love the concept of Observables in general. Together with Dependency Injection, it's legit fun to work with. -
@dUcKtYpEd Sorry, but it was really screaming "time for memes". No, can't say I'm of the female gender.
-
@bagfox No, I don't like my life at all.
-
@N00bPancakes I never complained about too many choices. Sure, it leads to choice fatigue, but I appreciated at least a more diverse landscape. But it's not just that react is used for JUST the web-dev but it crept already into mobile development. What next?
-
One of my many regrets of becoming a software engineer. Well, in my case I'm just a code-monkey, but I loathe the landscape we're currently in. Not only do you have to keep a neckbreaking pace and pick up everything that could be the newest "hot" thing, you have to do this in the shortest amount of time possible as well.
