You know what really pisses me off? Goddamn REACT, that's what. I've been working with React for the last few years, and it's the most BORING piece of technology EVER and it's ruining the fun of being a UI developer.
A thread. 👇
How are people supposed to see how smart we are when we’re writing the one language out there that everybody knows?
But MOTHERFUCKER, it’s not like it’s a fancy cutting edge language extension, it’s a DSL of HTML, pretty much the only thing that is more boring and mundane than JavaScript.
But no, React is all just GODDAMN functions
But no, there’s not a monad in sight. It’s just run-of-the-mill pragmatic, functional-lite programming that any moron can grok without an advanced maths background
No thanks. I'll just go drink in the bikeshed instead.
