Haaaaate all this.

@jonny @aud bazel also marketed as the universal build tool even though it's actually worse than making your own system from scratch

@jonny @aud i like react though and i think everyone is wrong for hating it but that's totally unrelated

@[email protected] I think I'd rather draw the tarot than use a chatbot (and I mean this with all respect to drawing the tarot): because with the tarot reading I could use it as a storytelling framework to sort out my instincts, feelings, and conflicts, and go on to do more experimentation. Can't do that with a chatbot.

@hipsterelectron @aud you know i actually like react, and it is both "a cultural signifier for a kind of guy/kind of site" as well as "something i use all the time and find genuinely useful for making websites that are not a total disaster"

@[email protected] @[email protected] this is a really good way to put it

@jonny @aud don't like how it can make web pages annoying to inspect but react itself doesn't do that it's generators that work on top of it which also tends to be why most corp websites are inscrutable. saying it goes against web standards when web standards means google and apple is lol to me
