I find the mindset of trying to understand and accept bad fine in moderation but as defeatist when taken past the end of the block. It doesn't matter why JS is bad and will harm your future prospects if you approach it with too much acceptance. We always need to be examining the practice in front of us and the theory that would be a better replacement for it and trying to make the leaps at the right times to keep getting paid while not becoming part of the problem ourselves.

Science advances one funeral at a time applies to software with things going at a faster pace so a good software engineer needs to fake a few funerals or really be senior at 4 years to be dead by 7.

> “JS developers bad“

I found it to be a nice post that documents why things sometimes are bad. It didn’t feel accusatory at the developers themselves, but seemed to serve as a reasonable critique of the status quo?
