Thanks for posting this.

Good frontend work is HARD. It requires both design and engineering knowledge, and it’s very easy to write unmaintainable or inaccessible code. It also requires a high amount of backend work via BFFs, load balancing, hosting and serving, credential management, and more. The cherry on top is that it’s basically all async code.

To be clear, I’m talking about the types of FEs used by thousands internationally, fully adherent to WCAG 2.2 (and above), and with rich interactivity. I’m not talking about someone’s hobby project with a couple dozen users at best.

Seeing backend elitists diminish its worth is tiring as all hell. To me, it indicates that the person is either new to the industry or looking for a sense of superiority because they don’t understand FE work. It’s meaningless and exhausting to read.

Tldr: I agree

Oat milk lattes are so fantastically creamy, mmmm. I’m also a fan of plain old soy.

I live in the city and only really ever see them parked over the curb or in the sidewalk in front of a No Parking sign. At this point I’m honestly not even sure they’re capable of parallel parking.

I die inside whenever I call an Uber and a Tesla pulls up.

I’m a mod on a fairly large D&D homebrew discord (12.7k members). I agree that it does get difficult to track what’s going on as our server grows.

We try our best to categorically organize our server in a way that facilitates dozens of discussions at once. It works pretty well, but no one is expected to be able to track all discussions at once, so we do rely on the users to ping the mods if needed.

I personally have a few select channels favorited and check them pretty often. If a conversation is interesting I’ll join it. If I want to talk/ask about a specific thing I just ask on the respective channel. If I need specific information I’ll do a quick search or ask on the quick questions chat.

disappointed that Wild Shape is limited to just twice a day

Wild shape is twice per short or long rest, not twice a day. A short nap wiill give you both uses back.

Honestly more readable than a lot of SQL I’ve read. It even has hierarchical grouping.

The type checker is actually pretty smart and can handle a lot of weird use cases, especially in strict mode (if you mark everything as Any type, that’s on you). The fact that the underlying language is very dynamic can be both good and bad. It’s good because you can be flexible when you need to be, but it also won’t prevent you from writing really shitty code, which lends it its reputation.

I don’t know if you’ve ever tried writing frontends in Java, but it is terrible, especially if you want to make dynamic and accessible UIs. You don’t use a power drill when you need to hammer a nail.
