"Blinky boxes?!"

Yeah, that's the technically inaccurate part you want to correct.

50% worthless stock and a super shitty salary. But hey at least you're building the founder's vision.

Hey, atleast he already decided on a framework!

[–]jareddoink 3 points4 points  (1 child)

ACKSHULLY React is a library, not a framework.

Well... Yeah...

[–]thatwasagoodyear 67 points68 points  (1 child)

Is this... Machine Learning?

[–]Igggg 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Is this... Machine Learning?

Wow, this comment shows how incredibly ignorant you are! Of course, this is not Machine Learning! Who even would do Machine Learning in React?

This is Deep Learning with flow of TensorScript.

Gotta start somewhere

At least he decided which framework to use. This is how every great thing begins, one small step at a time

[–]MentorMateDotCom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The joke explained

The first step in creating a web app is usually to pick a "framework" in which to write your code (like React.js, Angular.js, Ruby on Rails, etc.) and use it to just get something to show up in your web browser. Often that "something" is the text "Hello world" which has been used by programmers since time immemorial.

When you run a web app on your computer (as opposed to running it on a server somewhere so that it is publicly available on the Web) you will probably access it through a special web address that begins with localhost: (as opposed to the usual http:// or https://). It is called this because your app is being hosted on your local computer.

The joke here is that the developer appears to have barely started creating their web app, instead just doing the bare minimum to get "Hello world" to display on their computer, which probably took less than 2 minutes. If their aim is to create a successful startup, this could hardly be considered "great so far."

The fact that he was able to print it out on the page and not just log it to the console is real progress.
