The funny thing is, both of these are JavaScript for me.

I mean I guess TypeScript if I’m doing coding for work.

…

You make it sound like I verbally abuse people for bad code.

It’s famously difficult to implement your own time-based systems that also deal with timezones.

Ya know, I’m fairly certain I wouldn’t want to work with someone like you either, who seems to jump to conclusions based on an off-hand comment I made that wasn’t meant to be particularly cynical.

My main point of the previous comment is that it has nothing to do with JAVASCRIPT, just the developer on the other end. Drawn whatever conclusions you want from that assertion

I have seen this episode.

That is EXACTLY why I don’t understand why someone wouldn’t just use an NPM package that already has all that stuff sorted out. Could you imagine trying to code to deal with different time zones?

Forget about it.

I mean wouldn’t any sensible developer just use one of the many npm packages that do count down from UTC?

Which would also be using JavaScript?

Sorry I don’t mean to quibble it’s just that imo JavaScript has nothing to do with this faulty countdown, it has to do with the developer overlooking edge cases.

Hey listen.

You don’t know me and vice versa.

I cannot recommend The Expanse show any more strongly. There’s a lot of care put into the physics, world building, and characters. The whole show really is a grand ride.

I would say try watching an episode or two. But in reality a lot of the first two episodes are setup. They’re amazing, but you’re still being introduced to the world. By the end of episode 4, I promise you’ll be hooked.

Y’all I dislike forced browser adoption as much as the next guy.

And I’ve been using Firefox for years and years and years now.

But, I’m forced to use edge for work. And, as a browser purely, none of the anti-trust baggage attached…

It’s really not too bad. A lot of things work just fine. And sometimes, if I’m having weird performance on a website on a personal device, loading the same URL in edge has resulted in improved/expected functionality of the website

For sure don’t use jquery.

React is industry standard, but not my favorite. That being said, even my personal projects I do in react. I’m happy with my current role, but if I wanna switch down the line there’s less openings for a dev with mostly Svelte (my favorite framework) experience.

Yes it has, this meme is not necessarily with the times

Edit: or at least, a tiny bit dated. Although I’ve written and deployed express servers… Haven’t yet encountered any enterprise level back-end architecture written in JavaScript.

Usually in C# or Java.
