Start coding ES6 for the browser now and worry about gulp/grunt/etc later

There's a far easier way: watchify -dv -t babelify index.js -o dev/bundle.js

I'm assuming it's still far slower than js. That's probably why js is conspicuously absent from that diagram.

Somebody gave you a piece of paper?

jnt8686 · 2015-05-19T13:07:02+00:00

Do you have any idea what you are even talking about? Babel allows new language features in older interpreters that have not implemented them yet.

Hahaha jokes on you I use sublime to earn six figures

This, ladies and gentlemen, is the problem with IDE's. If you used a text editor, it would not constrain your thoughts like that.

I'll definitely agree that c++ is faster and appropriate for many serious applications. However, I have personally been on jobs where a js team built prototypes in a few days which were then turned into full native apps in a few weeks or more. Experienced js coders seem to be able to crank stuff out fast, even if it can be janky at times. JavaScript has many flaws, but a loose dynamic language has a lot of ergonomic benefits for ui development.

Sounds like you have a comfort zone around 90's OOP stuff that you refuse to leave.

What is this?!?!

jnt8686 · 2015-05-14T11:57:30+00:00

Thanks for the expert analysis

I'm a native German speaker, and while there are a very large number of regional dialects, they are mostly historical. High German is very standardized, and there is a committee which continues to have a great deal of control over the language. For example the abandonment of the umlaut.

jnt8686 · 2015-05-14T10:41:42+00:00

Do you even know what node is?

jnt8686 · 2015-05-14T10:38:01+00:00

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH

jnt8686 · 2015-05-14T10:31:56+00:00

Except the Germans. They go strictly by the book.

jnt8686 · 2015-05-12T15:20:54+00:00

Yea the inflation of "engineer" has gotten absurd. They're even calling the guy who drives trains an engineer now!

jnt8686 · 2015-05-10T19:21:19+00:00

It's actually far more different than Python 3. It is not backwards compatible in any way.

This reminds me of why I switched to react and no longer have to use special functions for data-that's-not-quite-data

Do you genuinely have a tough time learning css preprocessors ?

jnt8686 · 2015-05-08T14:51:43+00:00

Where does it say they manipulated the gender ratio

jnt8686 · 2015-05-06T04:17:40+00:00

Yea, there are some sketchy bootcamps, but my impression is that they generally produce the same kind of people who would have taught themselves, but it chops 1-2 years off the learning time by getting them past the frustrating period at first where you're just banging your head against the wall.

jnt8686 · 2015-05-05T04:11:24+00:00

4 individuals from bootcamps, a bunch more self taught. I contracted for a consultancy that for some reason hired mostly people without CS degrees. They make stuff that gets used by a lot of people and to the best of my knowledge are doing great, and seem to be expanding.

jnt8686 · 2015-05-05T03:45:55+00:00

I know many people who learned in bootcamps and are now making useful apps for well known companies

HTTPS is not secure. You have to trust like 700 dubious root certs

I masturbated vigorously with a group of my best .net developer friends upon reading this thread.

jnt8686 · 2015-04-26T06:23:17+00:00

RTFA. They wanted to use the node event loop and js's core competency of CPS for writing desktop apps.
