More work and learning basically in "front end" land, before you can do anything practical -- as usual.

I view it as an attempt to reduce the work required in "front end" land, making full stack development more feasible than it is today.

[Kaze404]

Because software engineers are known for being people who are averse to learning and trying new things out.

[hungryforcodes]

As opposed to actually spending their time building useful practical things?

[andrewzah]

Yes, that's why I manually input 1s and 0s - no time wasted on learning, only outputting practical things.

[Kaze404]

I hope you don't live every second of your life building useful practical things.

[hungryforcodes]

I do actually. What else are you supposed to do with your time? Life is short, best to use it.

[Kaze404]

I'd say commenting on Hackernews isn't building something, let alone something useful. So that's at least one thing you do that's not that.

[hungryforcodes]

Everyone needs a break from time to time. :P

[jazzyjackson]

does nothing practical happen on the front end?
