@anna we are so lucky 😭

@bigzaphod you might want webpack instead of Browserify: https://webpack.js.org

This article is very helpful at explaining how and why JS got to where it is, from first principles: https://medium.com/the-node-js-collection/modern-javascript-explained-for-dinosaurs-f695e9747b70

@bigzaphod that’s a fairly common practice, and you can automate compiling with a file-watcher like Grunt.

good mornin

@nolan congratulations!!

@sproid @mattmcnutt done 👍 send any other emoji requests my way.

@adelheid yeah, that totally makes sense.

@mdhughes alls I’s knows is when I google for answers to my problems, the URL says gnu. (I am not smart enough to use Makefiles, though)

Makefiles are bad and GNU should feel bad.

Me, this morning, *before* I lost an hour to Makefile quirks: I’m happy, content, at peace with myself.

@adelheid yeah, that makes sense, but you can’t blame me for being disillusioned with him after he won on a campaign of Change. It was formative for me, he was the first politician that I felt personally let down by. If that makes sense.

@adz fingers crossed the NDP can pull off a win (I say this every time)
