Simon MacDonald in Elk: "@andrico Oh, I'm not offended. I wa..."

Writing an article about component libraries, and it's making me wonder what everyone's first component library was.

For me it must've been JQuery UI

What was everyone else's?

Dojo

Huge throwback! That's one I never got to use, a lil bit before my time.

you calling me old?

Dojo released 2005
jQuery UI released 2008

For real, no offence meant!

I got into web dev around 2016, and my first projects used jQuery.

I got into web dev towards the end of the 2nd browser wars, so I was fortunate enough to not have to deal much with the problems that Dojo and jQuery helped to solve.

Oh, I'm not offended. I was just making a joke. I AM old. Been building web pages since 1995 and professionally since 1997 so I've seen some shit.

At midnight around a campfire

"Now, let me tell you all about... Internet Explorer 6"

Audible gasps

You are activating my PTSD!
