The long time web devs I talk to usually say that right before breaking down into tears.

It’s ok. I come from C++. I’m used to pain.

My tests keep me sane 🙏

Thank god for testing frameworks: testing-library, jest, and Cypress.

But also I'm a newish web developer in the sense that I'm building a web app for work for the first time. I was just doing pure python before and casually learning other things.

I gave up on C++ when auto was introduced.

Traceability? Pft, out of the window it went!

Should've just called it "var"; same difference. xD

Tbh auto was one of the less painful introductions if you had clangd running. Let’s talk about how there is still almost no painless way to inspect a dynamic array.

There is not?!

Well, I guess modern C++ script kiddies that #devine let auto wouldn't need that, huh. :p

Bad puns aside; that's surprising. Would've thought that std::vector or alike would see a bit of an upgrade to do that. o.o

How's it done these days? If, at all?
