Ask me again in a few weeks! Whatever is broken in the technical ecosystem I’m using at the time will come to mind first.

Right now, I’m doing a lot of JavaScript. The language itself is bad enough, but when you look at the big picture, it’s a disaster.
  • Issues in the language itself are well-known. You may not agree with all the criticisms of the language, but you have to agree with some.
  • The dev environment is something out of the movie Brazil: a curious mix of technologies and practices that seem intended mostly to annoy everyone involved and can only have evolved because no sane person would ever design it this way.
  • The lack of a standard library leads to NPM and frameworks that change every six minutes and it’s a cesspool.
I’d go on, but focusing on this is starting my day off the wrong way!
