Dan Abramov added,
^^ that was mean, I’m sorry. It may seem funny once or twice when said in jest. But people new to the field are the butt of the joke. As if just “JavaScript is not a real language” isn’t enough to have beginners doubt their skills. Why build a social following upon *this*.
If you write client-side JS you’re just as much a software developer as people writing backends, native apps etc. As rightly noted by @wycats the requirements are some of the most complex: fast, real time, async, distributed, caching, responsive etc.
Does this mean that people end up with overengineered solutions? Yes, just like in any language or technology that is actually used by humans to create something with complex requirements fast.
It’s a continuous process of learning. Create, ship, learn, adjust, ship. While inventing patterns necessary for these apps because it is really damn hard and not all old principles apply well.
I have overengineered a bunch of things, underengineered many others, did a few just right. No shame in that.
Some people be like, why does everything have to be so complex. Same exact people: everything must be DRY! no mixing of concerns! code smells! Tell you what, arguing to both increase and reduce the abstraction at the same time means you’re just here to argue.
I wish we'd shift the collective attitude of this field to celebrate building and shipping anything. Building any piece of software is a kick ass achievement!
I’m still amazed anything works. More so every day
The next stage of enlightenment is understanding why it works even though everyone has the sense that there's no way it should.
