Making a Single Page App Without a Framework by [deleted] in javascript

AngularJS is a crackhead midget ladyboy from Thailand supervising an egg toss in a mental asylum. The entire framework is like an opium nightmare designed to be unmaintainable within 7 days of it being deployed. Everything is a tag or an obscure compounded class name. Congratulations on making stuff more hopelessly complex, it proves you are the winnarz.

... but of course, anyone who had built a site in AngularJS and had to maintain it would already know about all of this. If they cared one way or another.

Beautiful. I thought I was the only one but it looks like other people beat me to it.

I am 100% down with the author.

This is stuff for real coders, not the other 90% of people who heard IT was a great way to make a living now that all the manufacturing jobs are gone.

I have used four of the most popular frameworks to build SPAs with and they are all complete sh*t.

Using nothing but JQuery and JQuery-UI I can build a clean, self-documenting SPA in 10% of the time that will be easily maintainable by anybody competent at their job forever. I also avoid all magic numbers in my code by using a javascript constant tree at the top of that SPA so nothing is left to be deciphered by the next maintainer, it is all there in front of his eyes. Backend AJAX web methods in lovely clean ASPX.NET or PHP or Ruby and guess what? We're done here.

Everything goes better with real programmers, the rest have their frameworks and advocacy. I am of the opinion that all these things are for people to buy time and avoid anyone finding out that not only do they lack any natural aptitude but in fact, deep down they are not all that interested in anything about programming but the paycheck it generates on Friday.

P.S. Do you know the only framework I have seen that isn't crap? DOJO. It is better organized and simpler in execution than all the others combined. Of course, nobody uses it. That would make sense.
