As someone working on wrapping up my bachelor's in software engineering... Yeah... Fuck frameworks.

Everything I've been taught thus far has been nice, neat, logical code that has been explained completely. How does memory get allocated for that string? What exactly is a memory stack? How do pointers work? It all just made sense.

Then I get to the last 10 classes of my degree, and as a prerequisite for the last 9 I got treated to "java frameworks". The classwork essentially teaches me to explicitly ignore how the framework accomplishes the end result, and to instead focus on memorizing bullshit one-line commands that are specific to whatever jackass framework I'm working in.

I've spent like 3 weeks straight watching crash course after crash course, trying to find anyone that actually explains the fundamentals of frameworks. Best I could find was an explanation of MVC (model/view/control), but I still don't see how all that bullshit is easier that writing your own code!!

Fuck frameworks.

Ok the wild thing is when I open this website in my Lemmy app it doesn't display most of the text... There is a white background instead of black, so the white text doesn't display.

Strange; the page is shilling for a product that doesn’t use raw HTML for its site.

I had been looking for how to add Expandable sections using HTML.

Couldn't find it when I googled it.
Now, after almost a year of having given up, found it.

Aside from the misguided part about AI, this is hilarious!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Agreed, the AI part is questionable, I linked it mpstly because it's mostly funny, plus I learned something new, tho I defo wouldn't take it too seriously.

Also, no marquee :(

I thought marquee and blink were unofficial syntax??

The joke doesn't really work if you look too closely.
