My respect and admiration for frontend developers reached all time highs in 2020. In the past, I often made remarks about hating React, JavaScript, and everything related to it. And it’s still true - I absolutely hate when I have to use them. However, my hated of JavaScript is specifically due to the fact that it is insanely fucking hard. I dislike aspects of the community, tooling, etc. but ultimately that is strictly personal and I would never want someone to think I looked down on them because they write JavaScript for a living.
