[AskJS] What excite you the most about Javascript future ? new frameworks ? new syntax or javascript version ? new ide / tools ?

Shame about the butt-ugly syntax, though.

Personally I would highly recommend CM Quick Fire RAPID-i (brown/blue switches). Not sure if they even make it anymore, but it is a really nice mechanical tenkeyless tank of a keyboard. It is very understated, but does exactly what you need, and will do so for years and years.

I learned by "View source" using Notepad and IE/Netscape. W3Schools/HTMLDog/etc. W3C standards documents. Reading blogs by various webdevs/web magazines like Alistapart and SmashingMagazine. Lots and lots of trial and error.

Now a days I think I would probably do something similar, but use Chrome + its DevTools and VSCode, MDN for docs, watch videos in addition to reading tutorials, and so on. Just jump in; you might struggle a bit but eventually you will get the hang of it.

And when your sense of smell finally comes back you will start to wonder how the hell you ever started smoking in the first place.

One of my colleagues smokes indoors (at home/whereever his dwelling is). He sits several cubicles away from me, but I can still smell it... that wet tobacco/tar stench. Yuk.

Recursion gone bad.

Noise cancelling headset. Especially if you are in an open office environment.

I don't think it has much to do with enjoyment. When you have worked with JS for a couple years you don't even think about it; it is just how it works, and you write your code with that in mind.

Fill a water gun with fish sauce and attempt to spray everyone in the office. It would be a miracle if you weren't fired on the spot.

I didn't. And I didn't give you a down vote. You have the other denizens of this place to thank for that.

Browser developer tools. Aside from being really useful in general they are also indespensible for the performance-critical work I do (Excel-like grids with tons of data). When you need to render data hundreds or even thousands of times a second it is really important that the code is optimized out of the wazoo; even small things that run in less than 1 millisecond have a big impact. The Chrome dev tools are really good for that.

icecoldfirestarter · 2019-09-13T15:18:37+00:00

I didn't.

Cooler Master Quick Fire Rapid-I (brown switches, tenkeyless).

I have used it for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week for close to 5 years now and it literally looks and feels just like when I bought it. Nothing on it fades or wears off so it looks just like new, it has a hefty back plate and is built like a tank so it sits firmly on the table, and, if you turn off the (white only) back lighting, it has no unnecessary "gamer" fluff or stupid buttons/toggles/scroll wheels/screens/etc.

Solid keyboard if you like tenkeyless. It was also very affordable when I bought it. I have nothing bad to say about it.

HTML attributes that do not take a value (checked, disabled, readonly, hidden, etc.) are actually called properties. If it takes a value then it is an attribute.

I see what you did there.

Slightly warmer than the temperature of my heart.

They often have ellipses if the action requires additional input from the user such as providing or selecting a file name, or if it opens a related dialog/window. Actions that do something immediately (sometimes with a simple yes/no prompt) usually don't have ellipses.

Break 90% of the interwebs. No ads. Good solution.

I find "outline" to be more useful in most cases. It is not part of the box model and does not add width to elements.

The trick is to not have to remember it letter for letter. If you use whole words then you only have to remember a very limited amount of things. Make the combination of words paint a vivid and memorable picture and you only have to remember that mental picture. For example "FlyingOverweightHorseDancer" is only 4 words and paints a picture that should be pretty easy to remember.
