lol.

I do that with PHP--it's very easy to know what will break when and how if I decide a function is doing too much and needs to be split into other, smaller ones.

In JS? Entirely different experience; I never know what's actually going on or why so I end up with spaghetti that works, but oh my god

I mean at this point I'm strongly considering that, but if I learn a library, I'll only know the library, I won't know the actual language and that's what I'm trying to learn here through doing it the hard way. It's just... really frustrating

the one for creating a "Are you sure?" modal is worse!! it is so much worse,,, i can't even fit the whole thing in a screenshot, it is terrible

"There's no way this is actually so repetitive and complicated--" It is. No, shut up, it is. It just is.

what the actual fuck, i'm sorry

i could keep going but im tired
