— Haha
JS devs should perhaps stop following other people's opinions when it comes to tooling and frameworks
— Imo JS is special now because it allows easier ways to do data processing on the client instead of the server
— I am writing a CMS, something traditionally serverside, in JS in the browser
— The server is barely a few lines long
— JS hv been doing that since 2013 or so... ES6 and upwards with all those insane tooling isn't helping at all
— I also build all my own tools
— Something devs should be doing
— Yeah the ability to actually build custom frameworks and tools is a skill not often asked for but extremely useful, because it shows an ability to be a key engineer and know how other frameworks function
— Tbh, I still don't know what the heck Gulp and Grunt does... yet I been in the JSsphere for a while now... 100% pure and sane JavaScript
— So I have a motto or principle that says, don't use a tool if you couldn't build it yourself too!
