I’m so lost. For kids learning to code, I think this image actually might help them understand

Is this funny, or is it a useful illustration?

Unless those are mostly overly complicated, it doesn’t speak to what I’m saying. But I guess it means people like doing their own engineering better than relying on others

I am very aware of the progression. But you’re vastly glossing over how much complexity (and feature set) was added after jQuery. If JavaScript sucks, how would you change it? Shitty browsers implementing it poorly in the past (and safari doing so today) doesn’t make it suck.

JavaScript frameworks actually exist for two reasons, one, vanilla JavaScript lacks ease of use (does not suck and I don’t care who disagrees) and two, people love over engineering the fuck out of technology. See: technology since the iPhone came out. We have advanced systems around the world spinning up processes to make up for the fact that touch screens are hard to type accurately on.

Lol I enjoyed this

Ah, I remember ops people talking about “Jankins”

Ask Jeeves?

Interesting. I used Sublime a long time. I actually thought it was a dead project now.

I had an Intel Mac before (2017 I think?) and the M2 felt like a huge upgrade at the time. My main home machine is faster though because like you said it’s a desktop. It definitely feels faster than the mac laptop on most things but it’s surprising how often they feel comparably snappy.

Well I don’t know about the MacBook air and maybe I’m behind the times but I feel like the M2s are fast. I do most of my work on a MacBook pro M2. I think it’s about 3 years old now

The funny thing about this conversation is I normally feel like I have less of a tolerance for slow computers than anyone else. So yeah, I harped on my employer the last two machines to get upgrades asap, and my home pc’s are pretty fast.

Sounds like robot-speak to me.

Are you a robot? That process is not visible on my machine. Probably a 100ms thing. Humans perceive a speed like that as “instant”.

No, no it is not, especially when compared to IJ.

It launches and reloads my projects to a usable state in probably 2-3 seconds on my machine and it basically never randomly freezes like IJ did for me. People who say vscode is slow just have a hate boner for electron.

You prefer to focus on its other shortcomings?

Sounds like a rash decision.

Lol wow, intelliJ? Shit’s slow as fuck

I use SO all the time and I truly had no idea… You mean a lot of answers are submitted by users who used AI?

You seem a little out of touch with how people think.
