So I've been reading some best practices because I've been out of webdev for some time
I think the "best" best practice is stop reading best practices and to have ice cream instead
@majachai @cypnk "Node.js is a tumor on the programming community, in that not only is it completely braindead, but the people who use it go on to infect other people who can't think for themselves, until eventually, every asshole I run into wants to tell me the gospel of event loops. Have you accepted epoll into your heart?" --Node.js is Cancer by Ted Dziuba on Saturday, October 01, 2011
Best Practices 2008:
No one has a clue. Everyone is throwing jQuery at everything.
Best Practices 2018:
No one has a clue. Everyone is throwing React at everything.
j/k. If you can find good articles on good front-end best practices I'd love to see them. As long as you stick out of Wordpress land, it seems like the different back-end environments have achieved some semblance of sanity.
@lordbowlich There's *so much* contradictory info too
I will say though, I'm genuinely seeing a lot of "advice fatigue". Just got off chat with a good friend of mine from years ago (knew each other from the old Perl forum days). The feeling now is very similar to when we were writing our own simple sites on the web
Sometimes, a plain HTML page and a form will do just as well if it's a landing page. Not ideal, but the suggestion is to take support over to social media

@cypnk if this is true I’m the best engineer I know
@cypnk reminds me of this
