@aral the current trend of having designers in charge of app development has resulted in stuff like "native" desktop apps written in #Electron and #Nodejs, web apps using heavy #RubyOnRails / #React stacks they don't really need, and so on. This is just as bad from an resource efficienty and long term maintenance POV, as trying to tack on visual design after-the-fact is from a #UX POV. @tootbrute@dirk
From #Privacy perspective I don't like React websites because they require #javascript.
From a #Usability perspective I don't like websites that require javascript because the devs usually arrogantly refuse to tell us about that requirement, leaving us with a useless, blank, tranquil screen.
My list of classes purchased but not finished or started: 1) web developer bootcamp 2) advanced webdev bootcamp (which is mostly #react) 3) a python development class 4) a Bootstrap workshop and a whole passel of things with titles like first step with arudino, how to get a good night's sleep etc etc
Actually trying to decide if web learning is really the way to go...
I swear I'm giving way too much mental capital into hating React, partly because 80% of the front-end jobs have it as a requirement and I'd like to change that.
Though I'm pretty sure nothing of consequence will happen because of Facebook's reluctance to change. We're not their customers, and we're not now they make money.
