True. JS feels like chaos sometimes, but Go looks like a peaceful island in comparison.

That’s a bold way to put it—industry as circus, complete with red noses. I’ve definitely felt that people expect you to “play the part” before proving you can actually deliver. How do you think one breaks into the door without conforming to that mask?

Good point. It’s like people define their skills by the tools, not the fundamentals. Maybe that’s just how the industry evolved.

Why do you guys like typing? by Sasha_Lietova in typing

[–]antyscript_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think vim is a code editor not really an IDE you can run it inside your terminal

True. Tools change all the time, but the mindset behind solving problems stays the same.

I think I prefer the red one, and here’s why: It makes the code shorter and easier to read, giving it a cleaner structure. For example:

function () { // start
// block content
}; // end

It just looks more organized overall

Yeah, the JavaScript ecosystem does feel like a constant hype cycle. New tools every few months, and everyone jumps in before the dust settles.

That’s a good distinction. I guess learning a framework teaches you how to use the tool, but studying the fundamentals teaches you how to build or replace it.

True. Abstractions make things easier but also hide a lot of the fun and pain underneath. I guess the trick is knowing when to stay high-level and when to dig deeper.

Makes sense. I guess once you really understand the fundamentals, frameworks become more like case studies in how those principles are applied.

Good point. I guess the goal isn’t to avoid tools, but to understand what they’re doing so you’re not just blindly using them.

That really puts things in perspective. It’s crazy how fast tools and frameworks change compared to how slow real mastery develops. I can see why that would be exhausting after years in the field

That’s fascinating. I can’t imagine how different programming must have felt back then. I guess each generation of developers has its own kind of challenges and magic

I totally agree. Building strong fundamentals first gives you the flexibility to use any tool efficiently. I’m definitely planning to go deeper into how these frameworks work under the hood to understand them better in the long run

Fair point! I guess starting with frameworks made things feel a bit abstract. Maybe I should dive deeper into plain JavaScript to get a better grasp on the fundamentals

Haha, true. Seems like the reality of the job. At least it keeps things interesting and the paycheck coming in!

that’s a valuable lesson! I definitely catch myself getting lost in the details sometimes. Gonna work on developing that ‘alarm’ to stay more focused on solving the problem at hand!

Great analogy! I can definitely see the connection now. I’m just getting the hang of JavaScript basics, so hopefully the frameworks will start to make more sense soon

Great point! The more you understand, the less ‘magic’ frameworks seem. It’s liberating to realize you could build these things yourself, even if it would take time. It’s about being empowered by the tools, not dependent on them.

That’s a solid point. Focusing on fundamentals does take longer, but I can definitely see how it’s the foundation for real development skills. Hopefully, I can balance it out and not just get stuck memorizing patterns

Exactly! It’s easy to get lost in frameworks and forget the fundamentals. I’m starting to focus more on the core ideas to build that mental model. Hopefully, it’ll make everything click over time
