Wtf on kafkaesque parallel, frontend awfulness or both? 😉 I don't want to sound clickbaity here, but I imagine the commentary on that could be a worthy discussion if made into a solid, non-emotional panel on a conference led with good speakers from various backgrounds.

Not clickbaity at all to me 😉 Wtf on yet another folk bashing what they probably lack knowledge/experience in. (too many points relate to backend/architecture to consider him a "frontend engineer"). I despise frontend devs bashing backend - and vice versa - equally the same. Learn first...

Sure, I agree on that sentiment in full. Bashing not backed with experience is just bollocks whatever the area. But it's not without reason that frontend is quite a bit more polarizing atm than it was few years back, which by itself is an interesting phenomenon to think about.

Everything there is for a reason. The reading could be tech-related, business-related, people-, etc... Anyway bashing reduces one's urge to actually understand the context to fully understand why something is not done otherwise. "I'd rather have questions that can't be answered [...]"

Example: Is js a really crappy language? Of course. Could there be a better alternative then? Well... consider major big tech players... Most of them would force a different alternative... Think about standardizing stuff... Think about all the conflicts of interests... 1/2

You'd need to go through a similar extremely long process of unification across highly unfriendly competitive companies owning that process. "oh look js is stupid" makes one not think about the "why" 🤷 2/2
