Can't tell if this is sarcasm.


not being sarcastic

if god wanted me to access my files in less than 15 seconds, they wouldn't have commanded google to package the search bar as a separate JS bundle that only gets downloaded when you focus the search bar

I'm no frontend dev but I know a thing or two about HTML + there's no built-in way to input text into a box -- this is the best we can do and we'll just have to wait for 5G + moore's law to solve this

hahaha, nice one (continued)


Laugh all you want but try looking for a Fullstack/Frontend role in today's job market. What do they want? AnGuLaRr with oBsErVaBlEs! Why do they want it? Because Google can't be wrong.


wait actually? my sense is that react is leading


It is. Although there is also a fair amount of Angular work. It's a big red flag for me though.


> Why do they want it?

Because every obersable event you trigger has to go into an add machinery


That would be the only reason for so awfully overengineering something - it's created by an advertising company.


I would rather slit my wrist than using AnGuLaRr. Google is notorious for over engineering problems, great for search, horrible for UI/UX stuff. Keep it simple stupid.

Death to SPA (Angular, React) Long live SPA (Mithril, Vue)


I don‘t know if you are joking, but this is clearly sarcasm.


You're saying you can't tell it's sarcasm that he can't tell it's sarcasm?


This means it's good sarcasm!

The best sarcasm lies on a ridge, you cannot tell if it's sarcasm or not.


Good in what sense? A sarcastic endorsement of A that is indistinguishable from an earnest one is a poor argument for ~A.

This is in fact what's happened with Schrodinger's Cat: it was meant as an argument from absurdity against the Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics, but it's presented seriously and so people take it in that way.

The purpose of sarcasm is not to make an argument, it's to have fun. The best fun is had when exactly half of the audience does not get the joke (as the other half makes fun of them).
