Comment on The boring front-end developer (2014)

Comments

I so tired of the excess tooling and incompetent reliance upon it. You don’t need layers of frameworks and 150mb of dependencies to build a tiny web app. Without all the helpful bullshit in the way I can get the job done 10x faster. The excess nonsense isn’t there to help clueless users. It’s there to prop up clueless developers.

When I start interviewing next month I am going to dive into this immediately and if I don’t like the answer I am walking out. Interview over. They can hire somebody else to write tiny react modules.
