I hate web development, I didn’t study CS to make web sites, I like learning new things but when web development is involved and especially certain libraries and frameworks, it seems that I always have to learn again the same thing with a different flavor and I feel stuck in the same place… and at the end of the day it is always form this, validate that, download those AARGH!!

Maybe it is just a bad day

Choose a framework and stay with it, life will be better

Don't do it then. Simple.

I was hired as native iOS developer.
Until now (less than a year) I had to make projects in React+Redux+MaterialUI, Gatsby, Angular, backends in C#, hand fixing bad SQL databases, a sprinkle of PHP and now I was asked to modify a project in Ionic because the company to whom they outsourced took a 2 weeks vacation… And sometimes I have to maintain a poorly written iOS app where CoreData suffers because a genius decided to implant handwritten SQLite because he had no time to study the proper way…

I would love to stick to one framework, really!

It isn't just a bad day.
GUIs have become the most complex and finicky thing to make. And web dev is all about GUIs.

Web dev and GUI sucks

Become an embedded dev today! We have
- super old code
- even older programming languages
- no GUIs, our user interfaces are terminals and network APIs

@LotsOfCaffeine And if all goes to hell you can just install Internet Explorer on the embedded machine and go back to Javascript!
