You ever be writing JavaScript and then realize you don’t fucking know JavaScript?
@codermeow I thought that was how one wrote JavaScript?
@codermeow "Oh this isn't JavaScript, this is ES6!"
@codermeow @usabilitycounts You write something today & the next day it looks like some higher being wrote it.
@codermeow Replace JavaScript with any programming language.
@codermeow Once I realized it was lisp in new clothes it made more sense. But, I won't claim to know it.
@codermeow Sometimes I’m teaching JavaScript and realize I don’t know JavaScript! Happened live on my #twitch channel. 🤷🏻♂️ ran up against a function I didn’t understand
@codermeow Hah, this sounds like my everyday at 10am after my coffee. 😂😂😂
@codermeow Literally everyone who has written JavaScript because no one can possibly know JavaScript
@codermeow 🤔 Is this a JavaScript built-in method, a DOM method, a Node module's method, or a method of some other dependency? Does anyone know #JavaScript???
@codermeow You can understand JavaScript, or you can write JavaScript, but never at the same time.
@codermeow I promise you even @BrendanEich would agree to this
@codermeow One time someone I was mentoring asked me how functions worked and I had to go away for six hours to figure it out.
@codermeow the best way to write JavaScript is to not write JavaScript #troll
@codermeow JavaScript was never admitted to the "Real Language" club, so you're not allowed to *learn* it. Just use it;-)
@codermeow Some JS code really does make me feel like I haven't been working with it for almost a decade tbh. "Sure, I know how JS works" *10 minutes later* "Wow, I don't think I actually know JS anymore"
@codermeow Literally every time I write JavaScript that thought crosses my mind.
