Whatever dude, we're doing ASP.NET MVC and Spring/Jakarta with vanilla.js just fine, go improve that CV.

How long have you guys been around? How large/old is the codebase? How many members are on your team?

We have been around since decades, being hired guns for Fortune 500 consulting.

Codebases are as old, or as new, as customers require for their business cases.

we've come full circle - macromedia dreamweaver had this in 2001

I like putting an auto-reloading browser window behind a 60% opacity Vim window.

how do you set it up?

The terminal is iTerm2, but the basic Mac terminal or common Linux ones can do opacity too. Didn't go out of my way to set up auto-reload, so idk how to do it in general, but the default create-react-app dev setup does it.

Nice extension, it may be worth in the readme explaining how it’s different to https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-livepreview which has been around for a long time and maintained by Microsoft.

I thought of MS Frontpage for a very brief moment as I was clicking the link to Live Preview.

Pinegrow[1] is somewhat similar to MS Frontpage IIRC. I highly recommend it.

The reason being CV driven development in most cases. For the large part of projects I work on, plain old server side rendering with sprinkles of vanila.js work just fine. At least folks now rediscovered SSG, but they seem to build rewriting bundlers in Rust as well.

> sprinkles of vanila.js work just fine. Bullshit. jQuery as a library didn't inherently cause spaghetti code, it was predominantly just used as a cross-browser selector function and some standard library augmentation/fixes before JS itself caught up. Sprinkles of progressive enhancement jQuery were exactly the problem that caused frameworks to be created. Sprinkles of vanilla JS lead to the exact same outcome, minus…

Do not forget jQuery.ajax, making cross-browser JS HTTP interactions possible in the first place.

Very unfortunate naming if you understand some German...

Nicer not to mock someone's name just because it happens to mean something in a completely different language =P

Definitely not mocking!

Just letting OP know, perhaps it'll help to communicate better with the German usership in the future...
