i thought i had a high tolerance for how frequently new ones came out but now with different meta frameworks for all of these different web frameworks becoming a thing i am now Overwhelmed
I used to be a "Web Guy" evolving into Content Manager and over the past 12 years every place I've been has just required me to use basic HTML/CSS occasionally JS. The industry is so changes I wouldn't be able to get a jorb. I'm STILL working in antiquated CMSs where I'm the "Expert"
DOM api has improved 1000% since the jQuery days. it takes a little more typing but there's usually a 1:1 for jQuery shorthand to plain vanilla javascript these days
I had saved a site for a minimal web framework where the homepage was powered by a solar panel, and when it was cloudy the site just wasn't up (can't find it at the moment). I could live with that
I even printed it and put it on the wall next to my computer at my last work. Next to that I had another printout that just said MSUAYG (Make Shit Up As You Go).
we're building yet another group managment tool at work and I'm just lol. lmao. at it. but I'm glad to see the seeds of it getting traction as the new source of truth: actually deprecating some usages of existing group tools and migrating to this new baby
also it depends on what kind of truth you're looking for.
"who is leading this initiative" vs "who agreed to pay for this" vs "who has to go persuade a bunch of people to keep working on it" vs "who's on paper reporting to whom" are all different entities
eventual consistency I guess. I'm hoping to spend most of my 2024 Jan-March evangelizing at everyone who keeps their own sources of truth to come join the new party and source their truths from our latest tool
No no, you see. You just need to cross reference the quip with the confluence. Then double check the email discussion we had. Also validate we didn’t miss anything in the slack/teams discussion.
the biggest initiative I want to land before I leave this company is optional bilateral syncing for "group membership" across all the different group management tools with historical lookback
at least that'll facilitate people cross referencing discussions across the different spheres
I think it’s fun to do things a little bit differently every now and then. It’s boring to do things the same way for too long, which I think leads to all the frameworks.
