You know... fuck frontend development.

I don't mind developing a nice interface and thinking about how users will work with my software. But I HATE (lack of a stronger word) the whole npm/grunt/bower/yarn/everyfuckingframeworkclient chaos.

Can we just pick ONE fucking tool and mature it.

As a backend who wants to be a full stack I can agree with this... It's very annoying and time consuming to learn a new 'technology' every few years / months.. Looking at you webpack...

If you want something stronger than hatred, try abhorrence.

Frontend development is a kind of web in itself.. if you get trapped in it, the more you struggle to get out of it the more it sucks you in..

Funny, I had this exact convo with our lead developer. He mentioned that the whole front end node ecosystem felt too bloated for him to consider as a good front end solution. He asked me about the benefits and I went own talking about minimal configurations with webpack (which is one of the only tools that i like and know how to use) but I have always hated how inconsistent things get to be as how fragmented front end is. Choice is a good thing but this is way too much choice!

Webpack is the way. Never learned the other ones properly... And now there's no point anymore 😄

@Froot you said it man. I just wish this transition to webpack becomes global allready

@rc5-asdf which is precisely what gets me about Node projects. So much fragmentation. For me it is all about Meteor even though I've not much experience on real life scenarios with it.

It’s an eco system that is still growing and learning, so there will be a lot of changes. Btw Bower is deprecated.
