React is a Javascript based web development programming language developed by Facebook to make pages run faster and better. I learned it as part of a MERN stack full web development course.
Used for rendering UIs on a Document Object Model. JS was a mistake.

Huh, well that's a funny way of saying "break the model of web page as document and fuck up the entire web!"
Oh stop it. Are you saying you don't enjoy pressing the "Back" button in your browser, but staying on the same page. Therefore breaking the page so you refresh and lose whatever the fuck you were doing? /s

React is what powers your Windows Start Menu.
Wtf is that real

What's this dude talking about?! Everyone knows no one hates React like people who code in React
No one is gonna get pissed off watching this.I used to be a React dev. The only thing I hated more than React was my boss.

Yes, as well as parts of the settings menu. What's not to love about constantly loading and unloading javascript just by clicking around in native apps? CPU spikes are good for your health.

This reminds me. I got a search engine to build.

Umm this is just being retro. Like using a film camera.
Raw film is objectively higher quality than raw digital. Are you saying that C is objectively higher quality than Rust?

Speaking of coding out of spite, is nobody going to mention that his C code features a
structwith over 20 fields in it?Oh man. You should see the source code for IOS (the Cisco one not Apple).
Spent 5 years working on it out of college. I think it's the most cursed code base you can imagine.
Not necessarily because of the massive struct defs everywhere. They are kinda needed when you're running an entire OS as basically a set of interacting Linux processes pretending to be an OS.
At some point Cisco realized they could not compete without putting a Linux kernel as their base. So they basically just copy and pasted the old code written in the early 90s for the IOS and put it into a set Linux processes.
To be clear. It's not just the front end. They didn't really change the code much from the old IOS. Its a cluster fuck of interprocess communication hacks that probably seemed like a good idea at the time.
It is a massive pain in the ass to code because you're basically doing everything on the Linux kernel and then frustratingly have to write the CLIs for IOS just so Cisco can continue to sell their proprietary OS with some of the most unnecessary hardware locks. Massive learning curve for any new engineer.
Literally, no one on the entire switching team knew how to send a message from a specific process to the IOS process. I had been assigned something that needed it. So I somehow figured it out and was "the guy" for that for the time I spent there.
Fuck. I'm gonna start ranting more if I go any further. But yeah, sometimes you need a massive struct because some idiot decided that forcing a closed source CLI on the market is a good idea for profits.
Definitely not a good idea for coding. But you learn quickly that no one actually cares about good code in this industry. There is no time for it. There is no reason for it. Just spit out garbage until it works and your manager won't care.
If you want clean code. Go write an open source project or a personal project.

Fucking Christ. Glad I left windows behind.

No one is gonna get pissed off watching this.I remember years ago when React was the savior of web apps Swooping in engineers from the clutches of JQuery and AngularJS (not to be confused with Angular 2+). Components weāre gonna make things simpler than the mess of JS files and global state.
And generally thatās true but weāve traded that off for a mess of hooks and 700 line nested functions in nested functions and obtuse rules that only apply to react and not JS.
Complex web apps are hard.

Lakh views?

There used to be a UI library on the Amiga called MUI.
It used a bunch of C macros to let you define the window and all the controls. Was honestly pretty good considering it was like 30 years ago.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]There is another called ImGui which is also cool! Written in C++.

Excerpt film isnāt objectively betterā¦

Shoulda been something more like Java Web Start.
Maybe. But performance, availability, and security killed a number of viable options. Flash was always more ubiquitous than Java on the web but it eventually died too.
-
Not really, but I'd probably try to organize those into sub structures where it made sense. A data structure holding the UI state and FFT data all flat is kinda messy imo since it becomes unclear what is actually required where.
It is spite coding though.
He probably has a bunch of gotos too.

Vibe coding in assembly.
I tried vibe coding a simple assembly program and it couldn't do it

That's what your original comment was eluding to, so I was confirming with you that that's what you meant.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Flash was also cancer that ruined web pages.
The reason Java Web Start wasn't, was specifically because once you clicked on the link, it downloaded the app and started it as a real desktop application, with its own window and taskbar entry and whatnot. It didn't rely on being embedded in HTML (I'm specifically not talking about Java applets, BTW -- they sucked too) or manipulating the DOM for its UI; it could use Swing and have the same look and feel as a native application.

Do React devs really hate React?
I think itās great and Iāve been working with it for 6 years. Many issues were resolved over time. We didnāt even have hooks back when I started! Those were dark times. And the new compiler helps with memoization.
