This response sums up something important about the Javascript development community that I cannot put into words.


I think it sums up the Beginner Community in general, not the JS community. You see this with beginners in everything.


You take the struggles of a beginner as an indictment on the broader professional JS development community?


It has nothing to do with them being a "beginner".


My reaction to your comment is likewise ineffable and mysterious.


The JavaScript "community" feels like more a large country.


I believe (and hope) this is not representative of the JS community.


Given that front ends have a huge visual component, it kind of makes sense that developers would approach them like clothing fashion: you don't have to watch the designers to look reasonably good, or even pay attention to construction, you just have to watch everyone else.

Well, at least that's what I picked up from this rather honest opinion.
