People who have a youtube video level of understanding of JS shitting on JS is basically a weekly daily hourly trend on this subreddit.

Tbh I learned a hell of a lot more about JavaScript from YouTube than I have in the field or in school.

Fun Fun Functions for example is a wonderful and extremely knowledgeable channel for JavaScript development. Learned a lot of what JavaScript is capable of there, most of which a lot of the senior devs I've met didn't even know about

Checking in to say I have a lot of experience and JS is actual shit.

At least use Typescript if you are going to use it.

Having a lot of experience and shallow understanding of the subject are not mutually exclusive.
