Thanks for the heads up. I’ll check it out!

If only there were some easily identifiable common denominator…

I want a similar experience where I’m a space ship repair man instead of scrapping them.

Only like 3 plugins are necessary on VSCode for C#/.NET. I use it every day at work. I use just as many plugins, if not more when I write JS/TS.

I’ve heard Rider is a good experience but I’ve never tried it.

What I really want is better support for the language in Neovim plugins….

My YouTube account is old enough to vote at this point…

The real question is…. WHY DOES AZURE DEVOPS STILL EXIST?!?!?

Personally, I use the very technical method of listening for the buzzer to go off…

I hate that everything has WiFi for no reason…

Which is why I often look at my 6 year old son and just say “Behave!”

He knows who I’m talking about.

“Kirk to Enterprise…”

That’s kind of what the ublue project is doing. Bazzite is a part of that, of course. But it also has more “normal” versions like Bluefin (gnome) and Aurora (plasma).

Any laptop made in the last decade will run basically everything from the GBA back to the Atari 2600.

You know all those Cyberpunk books and movies?

Apparently we thought those were a suggestion instead of a warning…

I mean, that’s what the marketing folks at the hyperscalers would have us believe…

Amen

It’s not just a shitty disease…. It’s a shitty disease that the Social Security Administration really, REALLY does not like to pay out disability for. Mostly because, unless something has changed recently, it’s hard to prove that you actually have it because it defies easily quantifiable medical testing, among other things.

So, it would be a curse on multiple levels!

As someone else who was a kid in the 80s, I promise you that almost no movie that you or I saw in that entire decade was a kids movie.

We must do these things so that the deep lore does not become legend and is, in time, forgotten…

Thank you!

Almost everything the author complains about has nothing to do with JS. The author is complaining about corporate, SaaS, ad-driven web design. It just so happens that web browsers run JavaScript.

In an alternate universe, where web browsers were designed to use Python, all of these same problems would exist.

But no, it’s fun to bag on JS because it has some quirks (as if no other languages do…), so people will use the word in the title of their article as nerd clickbait. Honestly, it gets a little old after a while.

Personally, I think JS and TS are great. JS isn’t perfect, but I’ve written in 5 programming languages professionally, at this point, and I haven’t used one that is.

I write a lot of back end services and web servers in Node.js (and Express) and it’s a great experience.

So… yeah, the modern web kind of sucks. But it’s not really the fault of JS as a language.
