A wise man once said, with great power comes great responsibility.
Now with all these listed languages, libraries the same applies. They are potentially dangerous and easily spaghetti’d, but an archer doesn’t hit bulls eyes on their first draw either.
Mind you any version of eclipse, new or old is a worthless hunk of shit so you can have that one 🍻 -
tools... well, it depends...
most outdated tools are often hard to justify as a choice anymore, true. but not necessarily.
jquery for example, i never ship it in prod as it contradicts every principle i'm willing to follow in programming.
but to drive integration tests is freakin useful, simple and independent from the selector engine of a specific framework. i don't need to polyfill around to run tests on different platforms/browsers, it just does the job i need, and if it's quick&dirty who cares... it's a test, it has to select stuff for me the easiest and most portable way, not to partecipate to a code beauty contest. -
@tkdmatze @C0D4 True that, but givem the fact that this was thought in school, it should be presented in a way that lets me see it's value in the real world, not something that is less worth than your average Todo application
@thatsnotnice fair enough 🤣
@CristCD I can already see hell when trying to configure a project with this. Nice! -
@CristCD Not when the teacher only picks the most OOP & spaghetti way possible. The way he presented it, it's just an alternative to JSP. I know it's much more but I wasn't thought how and frankly speaking, I don't want to anymore because I have found better stacks for my needs
School thought me which "cutting-edge" technologies I should avoid at all costs:
"I want to fucking die" - tier:
- JQuery UI
- JSP
- JSF
- Vanilla PHP
- Java 5 and earlier
- Java and Rest
- Old Eclipse
"Mastering the art of headbanging" - tier:
- JPA
- JQuery
You may argue that some of them are not as bad as I think of them but the I was introduced to them made me despise them. We were never introduced to the documentations. Only to the sheets our teacher prepared and I think he completely pissed the point of some of them.
Rest example:
/resource/{resource_id}/action/{action_id}/username/{username}/password/{password}
