"The vanilla JavaScript guy" joined JS Party last week and a fun metaphor was discussed:
Is web development stuck in the Hummer days? If so, is vanilla JS a bicycle? A Lime scooter? How far can this metaphor stretch?
You will 💯 want to listen to this and let us know your thoughts on the matter. The CO2 metaphor starts around the 20-minute mark (jump there) 💚💚💚
Thanks Jerod, I enjoyed the discussion. I think the big takeaway for me is "learning inertia", which is not worrying about the most optimal implementation but instead doing something rewarding that will motivate you to continue. Staying engaged will give valuable experience and hopefully motivate you to go a level lower and understand how things work. We as developers often fixate or debate on how best to solve a problem that we don't end up building anything.
