Writing spaghetti: don't underestimate complexity of simple tasks

tl;dr don’t code in an ineffective way if you don’t enjoy it

And so i did it again. Started coding in a language and paradigm that i don’t like. Because that would save time for more interesting stuff. Well, teh surprise: it doesn’t.

It is of course always a matter of balance between getting result fast and getting perfect result, but js with some glued together libs simply does not deliver fast result for seemingly trivial tasks.

At the end of the day month i do have a mostly working engine that i’m going to keep until better times, but it would be more effective to learn proper technologies first. But here’s a problem: web development attracts nih syndrome and coders with low standards to such a degree that it is hard to find the best alternative out of thousands.

Well, i can’t really solve that problem without wasting too much time on something i don’t care about, but i could at least pick a working frp framework.

Lets hope i’m more smart next time.
