that feeling when your boss loves node for all the reasons node is terrible. I never want to hear "you just have to..." again.
@nergdron i don't know what node is but "you just have to..." sounds annoying !! how about "you just have to respect people's choices and not push stuff on them"
sorry love xoxo
@punsandpotions node is a platform for running javascript code on a server. it's not bad, but it does have deficiencies. I was editing a codebase he created, and basically every time he said "you just have to...", whatever followed it was some bad design he'd done in the code that barely worked.
@nergdron @punsandpotions Ouch, yeah. I've been working in Meteor, which compiles into Node. It's pretty easy to work with, but I do keep having to worry about my design decisions.
@Angle yeah! like, you can write good code in any language. but you can also write bad code in any language. it's sorta what the job is, to write good code and not bad code. and my boss seems to just write bad code. 😉
@Angle I definitely have learned tons from better programmers than me. one of the best things I ever did back in the day was tear into the Quake 2 source when it was first released.... learning how that work, like, taught me proper C program structure. Carmack is a great dev, and his codebase was so clean and efficient, learning it made me a way better coder.
@nergdron mm. I'm lucky enough to have a friend who's a really good programmer. My code was a lot worse before he went through it... XD
