Hackernoon: How it feels to learn Javascript in 2016
“I’m just going to move back to the backend. I just can’t handle these many changes and versions and editions and compilers and transpilers. The JavaScript community is insane if it thinks anyone can keep up with this.” HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ...

Still one of the best packages that combines the ease of the old Strata StudioPro line, and the speed of rendering of Electric Image rendering packages. I used to do well with Form•z -> Cinema 4D.

CA/Zeldman: Has Design Become Too Hard?
“The frameworks are huge, and heavy, and come with an expectation that the user has access to ‘the right’ browser or device, and that everything works. Whereas in the real world, something is always breaking. So whether you use a framework as part of your design process or not, when it’s time to go public, nothing will ever beat lean, hand-coded HTML and CSS.” I totally agree, but not everyone can afford the expense of handcoding. It’s like a handbuilt house vs. prefab. Huge numbers of clients only have the budget for prefab. In my market, prefab on steroids (commercial themes) are what one has to compete with. So handcoding is often out of the picture. At least Foundation lets you slim down for deployment.
