The fun thing is to watch LLMs struggle through getting JavaScript crap to run or even build.

Not only is it a trash ecosystem but the error messages are so useless the combined knowledge of stackoverflow can’t even help you.
Every time I touch JS (and especially bundlers) I'm reminded of what an incredible pain in the ass the entire ecosystem is.

I'm never going to use a JS framework for a new project again. And while I'm at it, fuck it maybe I'll never use Typescript again either.

Either use an actually typed language (Rust), use something enjoyable (Ruby), or at a push, write some plain vanilla JS.
