I hired another dev once that loved to over abstract things. They would've refactored that original for loop to look more like this. Every time you worked with their code there were just so many more layers than necessary to do simple things.

Weird take... Now we're gatekeeping, tone policing, and shaming young devs for authenticity in their writing? Devs have been passionate about their tooling for decades, why are y'all trying to act "cooler than" when someone does something legitimately productive with that?

@ccccjjjjeeee I've thought / said this for ages. IMO the best solution: A single `config.js` or `config.ts` & treeshake export the name of the config you want. EG: Rather than `tailwind.config.js` you have `config.js` that exports a constant named `tailwind`.

Pilcrow is an absolute genius of OSS dev and I absolutely love what they have done with Lucia v3. I’m a fan of POSIX mentality growing in the webdev ecosystem…smaller packages with narrow scopes leveraged as primitives in higher level packages. Auth is a brilliant problem

@ziademarcus Nothing’s “critical stuff” in that sense, could’ve written the whole thing in WASM too. This code will pass your compiler / class project but infuriate and slow an effective team/org of many experienced devs.

@mhartington facts. That's why TailWind is cool...you can subversively get a dev to learn CSS by saying "Learn Tailwind" and since it's a "framework" they'll salivate at the opportunity before realizing they've just been tricked into learning CSS attributes!
