@yacineMTB Yeah. Back end is like doing math. In general, you know exactly what needs to be achieved and how to achieve it. Front end is more like trying to build a skyscraper out of a mix of lincoln-logs, dominoes, cards and lego bricks, while sitting in a spinning washing machine…

@csaba_kissi I learned JS as my first language, so I was pretty comfortable with it. I decided to learn Typescript mostly because it seemed to be so in demand. I thought I would hate it, and it was a pain at first, but it's honestly so much cleaner once you get the hang of it

@ThePrimeagen JSDoc comments are extremely verbose and they only improve the tooling marginally. I'd rather go with TypeScript. It's way less annoying to write and you get much better tooling right off the bat.
