the adoption of electron is what you get when you have nontraditional web developers starting to migrate there way towards other types of work

same with people being so hot to adopt nodejs

yeah, because why should the very best frontend tech be restricted to web browsers?

node is ok

npm is hot garbage

i'd rather use npm over zuckerberg's "yarn" or whatever

why? yarn is much faster and has a lockfile by default which i find appealing

yeah, and npm promptly adopted those features. so there's no reason to use yarn now.

probably in the most idiotic way possible, so there may well be a reason to use yarn

I'd be interested to know why. It's easier for me to tell my team "upgrade to npm 5" than it is to "install this new thing".

i don't use terrible build systems like npm so i've never needed to use yarn, but i'm p sure npm hosed up whatever yarn was doing more than yarn did

git uis are only useful for viewing the hellish commit graph you have cursed everyone with

Yeah. But if you have to work with Windows programmers, a lot of them are super intimidated by the git CLI (because it is trash from the garbage)

git is poo poo and its terrible cli is because its a lovely version system. also if you're using a command line during development you've hosed up hardcore

I've been doing more webdev recently and started using svg

today I looked svg up on caniuse and apparently edge and ie are the only mainstream browsers that don't support it
apparently this is "by design"

:laffo:

lol ie is lovely but it does support svg. i guess they don't support animation.

edge is just rebranded ie with a somehow worse ui. ms should have just exited the web browser game

apparently atom is capable of remote code execution just by viewing a malicious plugin's readme in its community packages site:

Atom is garbage. Use Visual Studio code instead, it's written by professionals.
