OT Liberals, describe current events if Hillary were President

React is very good as well, and if you do not have prior experience in web UX - I would say it is as good as VueJS.

The big advantage of VueJS is that it is as good as React, while not being completely foreign to those that worked on older frameworks.

my first experience with computer languages was using COBOL and BAL to enter data on computer punch cards. After that experience, I went into carpentry

Might be time to go back to work.

I have to admit that before the Y2K thing - I made a nice chunk of money writing a code generator to Cobol - to convert old systems to move to 4 digit years in dates - so in theory, I kind of know Cobol too.

Working on that stuff was a real 'hate your job but do it because it pays stupid amount of money' kind of thing.

I like how a mod changed TDS sufferers to liberals. I didn't say liberals for a reason. TDS knows no boundaries.

They are separate creatures. Liberals have certain opinions and causes they support because they believe in them.

TDS sufferers are people of low intelligence and scant education, who have been programmed by the fake news to hate Trump and to blame Trump for everything, fear ever learning the truth, and feel incapable of thinking for themselves.

My first program was using a bank of switches to enter binary code.
My first real program was using Fortran IV using IBM punch cards that you would occasionally drop on the ground and then spend a lot of time reorganizing. Then you'd submit your program for running, wait for hours to get a result and then repair the program trying to get it right, repeat until success usually on the third or fourth attempt. All this while we were never taught Fortran, we were just given a problem requiring iteration and told of some texts on Fortran in the library. Tough love, engineering style.
