Ask HN: Help me like modern web development
2 by hn3333 | 1 comments on Hacker News.
I am trying to figure out if I'm just getting old or if modern web development, and by extension javascript-based mobile development, really is that horrible. I mean am looking at a project now with dozens if not hundreds of config files (mostly .json and .xml) and at bash build scripts with hundreds of lines of code, all super fragile btw., and of course I have to "npm install" things but that literally downloads more than 2GB of dependencies. And all for a very trivial mobile app.. I mean I get it, it's web, it's sandboxed, it's safe, it's run-everywhere, but it also makes me want to quit my current job. HN: What am I missing? Can you cheer me up? (Btw. I usually love programming. C, C+=, ObjC, Ruby, ..)
