So for the past 2 weeks, i have been diving deep into the realm of open source software ever since I came across the idea of self-hosting. It is just crazy to discover the huge variety of open source self-hostable alternatives to proprietary software

I am completely blown away by the OSS community

How do you define a good codebase?
From my experience, a good codebase is a codebase that is strongly opinionated.
More rules = Better code

Honestly, i am sick of maintaining codebases written by sickos who think they are hot shit for doing what nobody else does

Working on someone else’s React project is a nightmare especially when they don’t know how to write good JSX code ( which most people don’t )

I honestly am looking forward to when Svelte takes over the frontend world

Wow..so i can’t believe this but i just got told by my “senior” in company that he “knows his shit” when i tried to give him constructive feedback on why doing calculations for users on backend is a bad idea and is not going to scale very well.
I mean we could do those calculations on frontend using web workers ( if they are so complex ) and that would have been clearly a better idea.

I also tried to give him feedback on why its a bad idea to couple backend apis with frontend. Honestly, i don’t feel like giving any sort of feedback anymore. I don’t even feel like trying my best to “improve” the codebase because if its going to be maintained by shitheads like him that get their pride easily hurt, then no matter how hard i try to improve it, its going to end up shit either way.

Wow..so i decided to try out Swift instead of always writing in ObjC while writing a native module in my React Native project.
I spent a fucking hour trying to figure out how can i write code to get a value from my info.plist in Swift and what i got was a humongous piece of code whereas ObjC does it in one line.

Whats the hype about Swift?!? Its the worst fucking language out there

React is so flawed in the sense that it forces you to go a very round about way to implement interaction b/w sibling components..which just gets worse in large scale projects
I had to implement my own event management system for React that worked well in conjunction with Redux.
