Interview With A Sr JavaScript Dev | Prime Reacts

Hot take: "Once you know everything, it is easy"

"2024 is the year of serverlesslessness" - died

“How do you get a Javascript piece of code under 1MB?” The fact that this a real question that people actually have to ask hurts my feelings.

Idk but the T3 stack sounds pretty good to me

I realized after returning home from a three week cross-country driving journey that I needed to organize my tasks, but my kanban instance has been broken for a few months, so I thought "I should make some kind of app". Then I realized that I didn't have 20 hours to spare before getting shit done, so I thought "I should just use an Android to-do app". But then I realized that fixing my phone was one of the tasks and might involve a data wipe, so a to-do app would not work (and besides, they all suck). Finally, I had an epiphany: I grabbed a piece of paper and a pen. This mental clarity would not have been possible had I not given up writing JavaScript.

"Push on save" got me good 😭

I will admit that I googled a bunch of the things he mentioned, mostly because a part of me didn't believe that some of them were actually real. I then realized that I honestly had no interest in using any of them or really reading the docs for curiosity's sake, closed the browser tab, and moved on....

Javascript people are now not just frogs, but fully cooked in the sauce it seems.

13:00 "don't write this down, next week this is all going to change" had me spit my coffee out. Lmao!

“Push on save” I nearly choked when I heard that. I love it.
