@ellotheth I always think about this tweet from Yehuda Katz on this topic: https://twitter.com/wycats/status/930463710941872128
Yehuda Katz on Twitter

“Front end software development is: - real-time (instant load, 60fps) - distributed, incremental (synchronize remote data as needed) - asynchronous - reactive (react to user actions in realtime) Front end is the hardest kind of dev I do. The folks who do it every day are heroes.”

@ellotheth JS is the cyclops to my Odysseus - big and magical and scary and to be avoided.

@ellotheth in the end it’s all about value created, tools don’t really matter in the end
