Javascript tooling cannot be described in any way other than "Lovecraftian". Every problem is an infinite fractal or intensifying evil, wheels within tiny wheels of shortcuts, assumptions, and bugs that leave developers a gibbering husk, right after they finish changing npm's install-strategy, and right before they debug the inclusion of multiple svelte runtimes in their project.

It's kind of beautiful actually.

It's not beautiful wtf? Crackhead ending on this post fr

Lovecraftian ending to that post, fr. Makes the rest of it even darker and funnier :p

There be dark wizards among us

itโ€™s literally the worst.

with that said, vanilla javascript with no external tooling is not half bad these days. promises, fetch, es6 in general.

I love writing vanilla js, it's like being a script kiddie again

๐Ÿคฎ

It's chaotically beautiful. ๐Ÿ˜‚

That's me

Thatโ€™s all of us bro ๐Ÿ˜‚ getting ripped ๐Ÿ’ช on selecting libraries

That's like going to a very big and large city, and visit the most advertised touristic areas and venues and then complain that it sucks.

You make your own experience.

get gud
