@bitandbang I think a large part of it is an ecosystem problem. I personally have found the most success with Rollup and distributing JS in uncompiled ES2015 syntax that only rely on the Node Module plugin. But I only handle JS through Rollup. Everything else I’m still using Gulp.

@ScottKellum I can’t even… I saw a brand new routing library, out less than a month, that just throws divs with click handlers on the page. A ROUTING LIBRARY FOR LINKS!

@rachelnabors I miss the Ruby Sass days, where everyone distributed their stuff through Compass and it all Just Worked without surprise config issues. I nominate @chriseppstein to be in charge of fixing bundling for the web; all software of his I’ve used has been intuitive w/o surprise gotchas

One quick example: I recently tried to use a style guide and three wrappers around it. Everything shipped >300K of stuff for the “all-in” file, if I could get it to work, and the individual files all had bundler-specific config assumptions built-in making them unusable.

Y’all, I’ve gotta tell you, I really dislike the state of tooling, frameworks, and third-party modules for building websites.

The complexity, size, and assumptions that come with them, their opaqueness, and the difficulty of making everything play nice is overwhelming.

@ScottKellum Haha! Awesome!

@bitandbang That sentence is barely comprehendible. Since understanding, I’ve rethought how I loop

@bitandbang ❤️ Promise.all + map. Since really understanding the array iteration functions (filter/reduce/etc…) I’ve thought how I loop. Add promises add async/await and it’s been fun to work with async code again!

I’ve been a busy boy today. Tried to make Brooksters (5th picture) but my cookie recipe comes out too caramelized for that good color difference. Instead, just a tonne of cookies and brownies. instagram.com/p/BygogIzJ-It/?igshid=11gvikshvls24

Tried to make Brooksters today, but the division between the coke and brownie went well enough defined, so now I just have infinite cookie and brownie batter.

This will end well
