Re: Angular JS Kinda Sucks
#62I think the fact that the author is comparing angular with jquery as if they're two tools for doing the same thing probably illustrates a lack of understanding of what angular really is and what it's supposed to be for...
But he write what most of the developers misunderstood. Many people use Angular for jobs, that will be easier and faster done with a simple jQuery. "Get the job done" got replaced with "its cool to use xyz".
Angular's value proposition for the dev is that if you take time to learn its unusual idioms and opinions, it will pay off. Its a very opinionated framework which contains some concepts most web developers aren't terribly familiar with - e.g. dependency injection - but which promises increased control over managing complex interactions, and consequently faster development times.
Of course this means that for simple jobs jQuery may be better suited, unless you're trying to LEARN Angular, in which case it makes sense to struggle through trivial apps with complex tools until it clicks. None of this supports the article's thesis, of course, which is something akin to "I dont understand this, it must be lame!"

#63Why does the back-end guy need to ... what? What kind of spaghetti does this guy and his colleagues build where there is such strong back-end and front-end interdependency that the server-side code cares what the front-end is doing for DOM manipulation or client-side-MV* like this, I wonder.
Maybe he's just writing both.

#64I think whoever wrote this article needs to be taught what the benefits of a framework are.

Which is funny because it started out as a way for web desginers (not developers) to learn how to write apps.

It doesn't really matter what the language is, SQL injection vulnerabilities are serious in any language. A competent web developer understands that -- especially a "Programmer Extraordinaire".
Yeah, let's nitpick everything this guy has written. Way to ad hominem him!
No that would be if I had pointed out a flaw in his personality. There's nothing wrong with what I just said
