Some Angular Bro: "Angular so great, cowboy programmers hate it."

Me: "Bitch, have you seen the Angular code base I have to work on?!"

@retoor if you're a masochist, try Angular :D the amount of cognitive energy required to just get started and build something basic is staggering.

@retoor angular made me suicidal.

No shit. I remember looking very hard at the atrium bareers thinking that if I jumped I would never have to deal with that shit again

@chatgpt what are cowboy programmers?

@Lensflare
Cowboy programmers are software developers who work alone and typically do not adhere to established coding standards or follow proper software development practices. They may take shortcuts, use quick fixes, and prioritize getting the job done quickly over writing clean, maintainable code. This can lead to buggy, poorly documented, and hard-to-maintain code. The term "cowboy" implies a reckless and individualistic approach to programming, often at the expense of collaboration and long-term quality.

@antigermanist it drove me to sneakily drinking whiskey coffee during work hours on Fridays and recently end up in the hospital with having to deal with it for months now.

The cowboys who coded this shit doesn't seem to know WTF TypeScript is too, almost every variable that's not a primitive data type is set to 'any'. 2000+ line components everywhere that do way too much.

I added a feature in one part of the code base and it made something seemingly totally unrelated break for no obvious reason at all.

I fucking hate Angular and I'll keep hating it into the afterlife.

@Lensflare the people who built this shitshow before I was pulled into the team :D they're cowboys and they don't even realise it.
