Goodness, you are not alone. I'm more surprised that you are surprised, that's all.
Some links to confirm you are not alone (and some funny, cause it's true, reading) https://hackernoon.com/how-it-feels-to-learn-javascript-in-2016-d3a717dd577f#.cdvrepjwi https://medium.com/@wob/the-sad-state-of-web-development-1603a861d29f#.kqtp9oyq6 There was a hilarious one written by a Java developer where she all but dissolved in tears and screaming... but I can't find it right now. Funny because it was pretty spot on, not because a poor soul was suffering. If this shit was easy, everyone would be doing it. There's job security in the pain, somewhere. cheers Stephen p.s. All opinions and beliefs are my own. I'm not sure how they came to be, for that I can only blame those I've hung around, in real life and online. ________________________________ From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com <ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com> on behalf of Greg Keogh <gfke...@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, 21 November 2016 2:48:54 PM To: ozDotNet Subject: Re: [OT] node.js and express You're not alone Greg. It's like going back to spaghetti but everyone around me doesn't agree. Thanks heavens someone is sympathetic. I thought I was crazy, but I'm glad to know you are too! -- Greg
