I think you've all forgotten what it was like to build web apps before ReactJS or you're too young to remember.

Is the worst side effect of #struggleStack that it's taught entire swathes of developers to do things in ways that are the most complex, least performant, and least likely to serve their customers? Or is it something else?

"The state of the art is no longer in finding more sophisticated ways to build JavaScript or CSS. It's not to build at all. To lean on HTTP/2 and the now universal support for import maps to avoid bundling."

I've decided to build one of my long-time pet-projects just to hone my #WebDev skills a little.

I've been working on #ReactJS sites professionally for about 8 years so I think I should stick to that.

My most recent job was on a #NextJS app that used #TailwindCSS so I think I'll use those too.

#Vercel seems like a good place to host those things.

The idea is like Foursquare/Swarm, but on #ActivityPub!

Wish me luck!

The project I get paid to work on takes > ten minutes to install, build, and test from a fresh repo. That's not hyperbole. It's just two #websites built with #typescript #nextJS #yarn #nixOS and #jest. There aren't even any #e2e functional #tests!

Ten fucking minutes everytime I switch branches!!

I just cloned the #calckey repo and it fills me with dread. #pnpm #rome #gulpjs #nix #vue #typescript; is there any #javaScript #struggleStack tooling that it doesn't use? I realize it's an #foss designed-by-committee project, but it's REALLY extra. People just can't keep things simple. #softwareEngineering #programming
