@shagoli im not making any statement here other than i dont know javascript like other people do

tbh most of what i call "webdev" that i do is only css wrangling

i don't actually know how to develop anything

i envy people who do

the more i talk to people about webdev the less i think i understand of a) webdev and b) people

@alice@elekk.xyz the app i was tasked with re-styling is made with jquery mobile

jquery is the only javascript i know

i am not using jquery to style the page

@alice@elekk.xyz my point was that i don't know/use javascript almost at all..

@mawr it's so so nostalgic to me because as a kid my parents had a lower end model (two door 1.0l, mine was four door 1.8l ) so it's a super familiar car to me and i just, love its design

@alice@elekk.xyz the first thing i spotted is npm and to this day im not entirely sure how to even use npm so i don't think this is for me

i don't think i really need a css framework? css by itself does the things i want? right now im just applying it on top of jquery mobile already anyway so idk

sorry

@mawr my only car so far was a 1992 Mk4 Ford Escort, which i got from my parents when i turned 19

it looked just like this but without sunroof and in dark gray, sadly i never took pictures of it before parting with it, south america got the european model rather than the american model

it's one of my favourite car bodies and it makes me super sad like literally no racing game has this exact model in it computerfairi.es/media/BjZsdI_

@mawr hnngg good

80s cabriolet vw rabbit is one of my dream cars

@Trev@icosahedron.website sometimes i put javascript together from scratch and think i'm pretty ok with it, hey, i made that one thing work

and then i look at other people's javascript

and i have a crisis trying to figure out if it's too late to change career paths

honestly though i don't know anything but basic javascript and jquery and whenever people do obfuscated stuff or like canvas stuff (like codl's confetti thing we added here) it just makes me feel so incompetent

other webdevs: css sucks! im gonna do everything in javascript

me: *in the middle of typing up an extremely complicated 500-line css file* whats javascript

@Jo @noelle calling an infiniminer clone a "voxel engine" is giving him too much credit
