This is really short. I think my complaints, compiled into an article, would probably fill out an article five or ten times as long.
There’s just so much shit. Everyone made their own system. There’s .js .ts .mjs .cjs extensions. Theres’s tsc and jest and npx and create-react-app. These are just the tip of the iceberg. If I try to update the build system to use newer versions of the software, all sorts of stuff will break. The really shocking part, for me, is that I feel like it’s easier to set up my build system for C than for JS.
