Whatever issues people have with the js tooling ecosystem "Dammit. It requires me to have a computer science background" doesn't strike me as a common one.

I'm not sure I understood your comment. I agree there's a shortage of quality developers, but sometimes that's a result of an influx of newcomers. Maybe you can elaborate on this connection (or lack thereof) between CS and JS? I honestly couldn't tell from your comment if you were speaking in a positive or negative light.

I think an influx of newcomers might be a symptom of a shortage of quality developers rather than a cause. I suspect the cause would be more to do with an increase in demand in the job market and unfilled jobs, which encourages a lower bar when it comes to hiring.

Never miss a moment for a random Js snipe

How do you jump from a small available pool of quality developers to JS problems?!

I really don't like the JS ecosystem but this is totally unwarranted.

Eh, the JS ecosystem's growth certainly isn't something I'd categorize as "scientific."
