Working in an open source Electron program that decided to just use as many different JavaScript modules as possible.

Hm, this is unpleasant, but why ever use it then: what is this app? Perhaps another to-do list extender from newbie using jQuery. Certain Electron apps are very picky about dependencies and performance.

@vintprox I'm working on the Atom text editor for a class at school.

@ThisGuy for Christ's sake, forget Atom. It's totally unoptimized IDE that had the only buying feature in days of first release: ability to open DevTools and stylize editor any way you want.
But that's already far in past, even if it seems like not-so-old, don't forget that you are living at funny times, when new framework is being produced every day.

Use Visual Studio Code, it's always keeping on monthly updates, quality assured internal code with optimizations, all taken seriously. I'm sure it won't get old any time soon (however it may be subjective 😛).

@vintprox Thing is that I can't change projects, and I've already been assigned to working on Atom. Otherwise I would definitely swap to something else.

@ThisGuy but how does Atom extend the project? Like, special plugins and other fluff? I'm not sure it must affect codebase.

@vintprox We are actively working on Atom, contributing to the open source. Basically the project is to fix beginner issues that were on Github.

@ThisGuy I see then.
Working on walking dead.
Good luck there!

@vintprox Figured I would update you since you seemed interested. My professor is letting us work on a different project. He saw how bad Atom was and gave us a new option.

@ThisGuy Now we're talking! :) Congratulations
