The following is inspired by the article “It’s the future” from Circle CI. You can read the original here. This piece is just an opinion, and like any JavaScript framework, it shouldn’t be taken too seriously. No JavaScript frameworks were created during the writing of this article.

Hey, I got this new web project, but to be honest I haven’t coded much web in a few years and I’ve heard the landscape changed a bit. You are the most up-to date web dev around here right?

-The actual term is Front End engineer, but yeah, I’m the right guy. I do web in 2016. Visualisations, music players, flying drones that play football, you name it. I just came back from JsConf and ReactConf, so I know the latest technologies to create web apps.

As an active web dev, I can say while this accurately portrays a good bit of what's going on, part of the issue is people looking around and getting overwhelmed. Just grab what you need, carve out an app, and do it better next time. Learning is incremental.

Web dev is a mess. I just hope I will never have to deal with it but I fear I will some day have to.

I feel your pains.
Before i finished school I did a react project. and thought wow this is a mess with so many different dependency's to make the thing work.
I do prefer react but thats not the point.

anyway just yesterday i felt angular 2 was mature enough to dive into, but trying use that with asp.net or with asp.net core proved painful.
asp.net core has more built in tools then standard asp net to make it even realistic to do angular, but .net core is edge as well.

so finding samples that used the latest in both has been a pain.

Even mobile dev is often done using these js frameworks these days. so alot to learn. Trying to stay relevant in my field, and all these new js or existing js stacks make it alot of work.

At least I picked up typescript early on and did a few projects with it, so at the very least I can use that if i need to. and I picked up node.js as well.

Javascrpit is everywhere now days... I dont even like javascrpit but i am picking use use a js framework for mobile dev of xamerian that uses xmal and C# both things I am strong at as i feel the js frameworks make more sense. more code shareing ect...

I nearly went to a by weekly club that does JavaScript in the mesa just to try to keep up. (ended up not going due to Counter strike being more important after work)

js this js that........

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net
  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
