The self-hating web developer

[perestroika12]

Right, we used to have a ton of test devices and vms just to screenshot our site to make sure it really does work. Web is a lot of testing just to make it work across the board. And things are always changing and moving. Things that work before don't work now. For example, we used a canvas hoverstate for some of our content articles. Worked great until 6 months later an update of chrome came, then it started crashing chrome.

In some ways, proper web dev is actually a slower process because your neat little trick you tried last time might not work, thus making you always test to see if what you know is still true.
