I didn't understood the last comment you made. "I am not sure if I can maintain the vans simplicity". Can you please make a video explaining what's going wrong in vanjs? Rest of video i understood full and can relate 100%

[@awesome-coding]

Sorry if I was not clear in the way I presented the idea. I'm not sure if you saw my video detailing Van's codebase. (kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZmVeniMpsalftU) The point is that you have to be really skilled to be able to write and maintain a codebase like this one. Sure, if I had to implement a similar framework, I would be able to do it, but probably in 500 - 600 lines of code. But the framework author was able to do it in just 140, by employing really smart strategies and techniques I would not be able to come up with on my own.

I loved the entire video. Every new blazingly fast technology is eventually going to be redundant. Even Van.js will get bloated, and be replaced by another "Van.js killer". As ThePrimeagen says - "Learn the language, not the framework."

[@awesome-coding]

Of note is that Languages suffer from this complexity issue as well. Go's big thing was aiming for simplicity - no inheritance, no generics, jut to add generics later due to the community pressure :)

You are SPOT ON! LESS IS MORE. 🎉🎯🤯

💯

Damn I feel I am dumb. This guy knows soo much about development 😂

[@awesome-coding]

100% :))

[@QuassaKE]

what js lib was that that used 140 lines?

Great content but there were no videos at the end :(

[@awesome-coding]

Thanks! These were the videos: - How UI Frameworks Actually Work - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZmVeniMpsalftU - Is The HTMX Hype Legit? - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYqveJWlg7qCos0 I'm guessing you are using some sort of add blocker which usually removes the end screen suggestions.

0:00 For real. *EVERYONE* is sooooo smart except for me. 😭 But then again, my complete fraudulence continues to go undiscovered by others... so whatever. 🤷

[@awesome-coding]

😂 100% I get you

[@SirusStarTV]

I wouldn't know if i'm impostor until i work on real project with salary. As someone on reddit said: "It's not impostor syndrome if you don't actually have the skills"

[@awesome-coding]

😅 fair enough

[@napapt]

Q: How often do you have the imposter síndrome? A: Rarely, the industry has so many incompetent people that are in the job just for the money, that I'm happy whenever I meet inteligent people.

[@awesome-coding]

😂 I usually see these situations as proof that I’m not good enough, “if I were better I would be surrounded by more skilled devs.”

[@napapt]

Well I'm still looking to have that opportunity, that is my dream job.

Thanks a lot it's not Fireship

[@dirty-kebab]

I've literally played the endless putting out fire loops with Jest, React, Redux, Node, NPM, and a deadass old asf company component library. This is fine 🔥😌🔥🔥🔥

[@awesome-coding]

I remember when Flux and Redux were first introduced. We moved all our state in Redux. Then they said you should’t save everything in the store. Then they introduced Context API, and “you don’t need a store anymore” However, if you need state, “here is Recoil.” 🥲

[@dirty-kebab]

@@awesome-coding I've not heard of recoil before? Is it easier to manage and scale? Someone built a whole endpoint entirely wrong and based on a bespoke use case for our data. So I had to refactor the slice to add the whole data slice in, and prevent multi-fetching across the app. And every small step along the way, Redux has thrown a chair at the back of my head, and I've had to go and refactor my new code, to be less readable, less efficient, and with greater entropy. Such a pain. Pls tell me Recoil is plug and play and type safe? 😭

[@awesome-coding]

@@dirty-kebab Recoil is really lightweight AND is created by a team inside Facebook. In their docs they say it's always better to use React's built in state management whenever possible, and to use a state manager for very specific scenarios. In recent years I shifted towards simplicity a lot so, if I have to start a React project today I'd use Recoil. Frameworks like Solid or Svelte, which come with their own state managers are proof that you don't need a full blown architecture and a big library just to move data around components.
