I’m done with JavaScript.
from Before I Was CEO · host vonthecreat0r
As a developer, I have spent countless hours trying to debug and fix issues caused by the inconsistency of Javascript. It seems like every time I think I have a solid understanding of the language, something new pops up that throws me for a loop. And unfortunately, it's not just the language itself that's the problem. I've noticed a trend of inexperienced individuals jumping into Javascript development without fully understanding the language or best practices. This has led to poorly written code, security vulnerabilities, and a general lack of quality in the projects I've worked on. Even with the rise of popular frameworks like Nodejs and Reactjs, I've found that they too have their flaws. While they may make development easier in some ways, they also introduce new challenges and limitations that can be frustrating to work with. At this point, I've decided that the time and effort required to work with Javascript just isn't worth it. I'm ready to explore other languages and technologies that offer more consistency and reliability. While it's a difficult decision to make, I know it's the right one for me and my career.
