It doesn’t look like anything to me.

@sweetcarolinatv @MarkHamill Math is difficult for stupid people, so I’ll type in small words. California is 12% of the US population. New York is 6%. So even if everyone in the state voted, they wouldn’t decide the election. You just want less populated states to have more power.

@seaotta I think it’s more that back then you could make a pixel perfect design specific to one resolution. Now we have desktops, phones, and tablets, and one design needs to adapt to everything.

@thekitze The problem is web dev prioritizes the dev experience not the user experience. You can write one code base for web, mobile, and desktop apps. But it will never be a seamless or performant to the user as writing apps specifically for the different platforms.

@davidfowl It’s funny to me that people get so hung up on Silverlight when the whole industry moved away from proprietary client side runtimes. Like why aren’t they complaining about Flash and Java applets going away as well?

@SaeedDiCaprio Tell me you don’t know what residuals are, without telling me you don’t know what residuals are.

[Keith Graves @kgraves]

@DThompsonDev Every dev has to be self taught at some point. When I was in college, “web apps” didn’t exist, let alone languages like TypeScript or Rust. This guy sounds like a spoiled rich kid who’s parents paid for all his college.

@DweblinVeltz @AriDrennen Yeah and these same people argue about bathrooms, saying that men will just pretend to be trans women and attack women in bathrooms. But their laws would force trans men to use the women’s bathroom. An attacker could just as easily claim to be a trans man.

@TracketPacer It’s giving bad CSI vibes. https://t.co/xUx2By1KV2

@InternetH0F Getting kicked off the internet because someone picked up the phone.

@ersatz_0001 @luciascarlet I’m guessing you’re too young to remember when everyone was writing Flash and Java Applets.

[Keith Graves @kgraves]

@dabit3 @magnum_dingus There was a time when Flash developers were in high demand. Tech is always going to change. If you have locked your entire career to one specific language or framework, your career isn’t going to last very long.

[Keith Graves @kgraves]

@dabit3 Be a developer, not a <insert framework here> developer. Developers should know how to solve problems and can adapt to different languages and frameworks. Frameworks will come and go. And companies shouldn’t limit their hiring to such narrow requirements.

[Keith Graves @kgraves]

@Cernovich It’s amazing how you people only get outraged when cops kill a white man.

[Keith Graves @kgraves]

@ABritInCanada @seaotta Yes but it makes me understand why some companies still use Access, because they can put things together in like 10 minutes. I remember when web dev was just HTML and CSS. Now you need to know 20 different frameworks and libraries just to do anything.

[Keith Graves @kgraves]

@ebenezerDN @demicoderr The biggest advantage to me is that I can make a change on one item in a page and know that it won’t break things in other parts of the site.

[Keith Graves @kgraves]

@ebenezerDN @makindeAhmed_ Tailwind is not meant to replace learning CSS. The point is to learn CSS and then use Tailwind to make it easier to write and manage.

[Keith Graves @kgraves]

@TheCodeMan__ I use Dapper. At least at my company I’m usually dealing with databases for a variety of systems where the schema doesn’t directly match the models I want to use, so it is easier to just write raw SQL queries.

[Keith Graves @kgraves]

@AddieStan It’s always funny to me when conservatives use “highly educated” as an insult.

[Keith Graves @kgraves]

@Adnanansar83317 @saltyAom Oh man I am old enough to remember when React first came out and everyone hated JSX, and the idea of mixing your logic and HTML together.
