    gonna state this: html is a language, but not a PROGRAMMING language. each individual regex is also a language. assumed that you thought “language” and “programming language” were equivalent
    sidenote: “gonna state this:” could be prefixed to any comment without changing the meaning, but it sure does change the vibe

      I’m the lead UI developer for one of Europe’s biggest fintech firms, up from #4 before I got there (many factors in that, so okay, but the UI update added to our success). I’m reviewing quite a few CVs lately looking for Angular FE devs and honestly, an attitude like that won’t even get you in the first round.

      This discussion started because I said many FE devs don’t develop with HTML in mind - it’s all divs and js. Or they rely heavily upon a framework to do that for them. I just passed on someone in the third round because I asked for a lightweight modal with esc exit, background and focus, and they wheeled out this whole system using prime ng and p-modals, where just using the <dialog> element would have worked.

      To be fair, they also argued that using their method would have been faster and more consistent. That’s a person who relies on toolkits instead of understanding their existing tools has depth.

      May I suggest, don’t be that guy. But in 3 years I retire to an island to never have these arguments again, so what do I care? Don’t listen to anyone else - be my guest.

      Just to change the vibe.
