No it just makes me even more frustrated. The amount of incompetence and neglect I see and have to deal with on a daily basis, even with software developed by multi-million dollar corporations, is astonishing.
Why is modern webdev such a clusterfuck?
Why does VisualStudio take multiple seconds to open an empty project?
Why does Nvidia’s control panel have multiple seconds long pauses to switch between settings categories or loading lists?
Why does this game run like garbage on a 4090 when it has mostly static environments and the graphics aren’t even that good?
I could go on but I’d be here all day. All of those things, with the exception of webdev (because god there’s so much shit in there…), could be easily fixed* or should’ve never gotten that bad in the first place.
*Provided the entire architecture isn’t garbage, otherwise see the rest of the sentence…
Have tried multiple times to “finally figure out how this web stuff works because I’d like a nice website that isn’t a huge chonky slowpoke WordPress install with ad-infested plugins.”
I can’t do it. Gamedev is hard, but makes 1000x more sense than whatever cargo-cult bubblegum-and-hope the modern web runs on.
I probably should learn JS, but I’m very hesitant to even bother with it because it feels like an insane time commitment. Like getting a doctorate from scratch in something you’re not SUPER jazzed about or starting OnePiece from Ep 1.
“Oh cool, you learned that thing everyone complains about! But you know nothing until you get good at ~30 out of 400 different highly opinionated frameworks.”
The input to result ratio just doesn’t seem like it’s there. O.o Maybe I’m just a noob but this is my experience lol.
And don’t even get me started on RAM-munchy Electron apps.
“Why yes, I WOULD love a separate instance of Chrome running for every messenger app I use! And I love when Discord is the only support resource! :D”
My favorite part is empty array truthiness.
[] is falsy ( [] == true returns false ), but ![] is false. !![] is obviously true. (! is inversion as in all normal languages)

Not a webdev.
