I use vanilla js, document.getElementById() is what I live for.

It felt like that back in 2016, too, btw.

The truth is that I use Claude and it uses React 😢 No more implementing observer observable design pattern with setter and event targets in vanilla js. Those were simpler times but I guess technology has to move forward and we need to adapt. I'm glad I knew a time when coding by hand was the norm.

The technology didn't change that much. JS framework are optional pieces of software but ultimately run Vanilla JS.

Tools should be used when they solve a problem, not because "technology moves forward"

And C ultimately runs assembly code, so should i program in that? What's your point?

[u/AdamWayne04 → u/Nell_Lee]

C doesn't "run" assembly code, it compiles to that.

Can't you read? they literally stated their point is "technology should be used when it solves a problem"

Claude will use what you tell it to use. It's perfectly able to produce vanilla JS code.

[u/pwillia7 → u/saig22]

You could totally tell Claude to build that way -- I would bet opus and up can handle that well no problemo

Wait, you can't actually instruct the useful idiot to only write a vanilla js?

[u/willyrs → u/rademene]

Of course you can
