Responding to Prime's take about frontend frameworks

The response loop continues. Brace yourself for 116:18 of pure response to a response to a response video.

Prime in the snippet you showed was not talking about tool choices. He was talking about the cycle of growing dissatisfaction with the paradigm of the day and eventual abandonment if it. You however were talking about choice of toolset. Choice of toolset just shifts the timing of when one goes insane.

He's my favorite apple tv engineer dont buly him please

0:10 THE DISRESPECT 😂😂😂

The real reason behind JQuery at the time, was crossbrowser functionality. Crossbrowser used to be hell in early 2000s. I remember if not for crossbrowser it was actually preferable to add some vanilla js.

Biggest appeal of Elixir in my (limited) experience, is that the ratio of "Functionality" to "LoC" is MASSIVE relative to almost everything else I've used.

Back in 2012, I interviewed for a role, around the time frameworks was the new hotness (AngularJS, Backbone, Knockout, etc). I was asked to build a simple component that displayed some prices in real time. I did that in jQuery because I just spent 6 months writing my own simple (text based) game engine and by then I could write jQuery by heart. Everyone else was trying to use the new hotness and failed, I used what I knew best and got the job.

I love how your first youtube recommendation under prime's video is for a granady trackmania video :D

I only half way through but this chart with complexity comparison is genius. Well done Theo. I couldn’t think of a better way of visualising it.
