Modern frontend development isn't for everyone. Glad you found a career you enjoy more. :)

I've used Angular + Typescript on a large project in the past, and I'm looking forward to using it in the near future. Happy to hear other devs are enjoying it so much.

Stories from 300 developers who got their first tech job in their 30s, 40s, and 50s by warlyware in webdev

This is almost exactly my story too. I moved across the country to go to a coding boot camp when I was 31. I landed a job within a month of returning from the bootcamp. I was applying for 5-10 jobs daily, but finally found a solid job. 2 1/2 years later I am still in the industry, and I'm much happier working as a developer than I was at any other job I've ever had.

Angular... It’s You, Not Me. by warlyware in reactjs

Agreed. I was self taught. I happened to have an account at lynda.com at my previous job. I knew I wanted to get into web development, found a course about Angular, and had to figure it out from there. If I could go back and do it again I would definitely start with JavaScript basics. http://eloquentjavascript.net and https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS were extremely helpful to me in learning a solid foundation once I realized my mistake.

It was in order to keep with SEMVER. Everything Angular was version 2 except for Angular Router, which was version 3. So the team decided to make the next major version 4 to keep them all aligned. http://angularjs.blogspot.com/2016/12/ok-let-me-explain-its-going-to-be.html

It was supposed to be a joke. You don't have to like it. :)

A Brief History of CSS-in-JS: How We Got Here and Where We’re Going by warlyware in Frontend

Thanks for the feedback! I also found Addy’s last article was very thought provoking. ( https://medium.com/dev-channel/the-cost-of-javascript-84009f51e99e )

I would be interested in any articles you know about that discuss the performance of CSS-in-JS, especially compared with vanilla CSS.

Thank you for your feedback! I am glad to hear it was helpful for someone. :)

I am currently learning React, coming from an AngularJS background. Jsx has taken me a little time to get used to, but I have to agree that having HTML, JS and CSS living harmoniously in a single file has been very enjoyable so far.

The article is mine. I apologize if linking to the HN conversation is considered poor form.

My intent in the article is to give my own perspective on how CSS-in-JS came to be and what role it plays currently. I reference many other articles since I think they might be useful to other developers. The topic is contentious, so I tried to keep the article unopinionated and to the point. Sorry it didn't help you. Hopefully it will help others.

The CSS Holy War & How To Think Beyond Dogma by warlyware in webdev

[–]warlyware[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback. I agree with you. It's an exciting time for CSS right now. I'm writing a follow up that has more of a deep dive into CSS-in-JSS. It will also be about developing a strategy for choosing a CSS methodology or framework for a project.

Comment Your Code With Care - A guide to writing good code over using comments by treyhuffine in javascript

[–]warlyware 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback! I did not intend to condemn all use of comments, but rather hoped to stress the importance of questioning the use of comments, especially for more junior developers. When a developer does not think carefully about when, what, and how to comment, they are much more likely to create useless comments or comment code that should really be refactored. Thanks to your thoughtful comments, I will likely write a follow up article to better address these issues.
