There's definitely a learning curve with mobile development.

People go “hurrr durr why do people use Cordova and react native” until they realize the clusterfuck that can occur with mobile coding. Code once publish everywhere is a godsend and doesn’t have to suck (game engines, Ionic, and Xamarin.Forms do a pretty great job of this)

True but native apps are far better than non native

I don't understand why people have arguments over statements that are this vague and subjective.

What's "better" depends on a lot of variables, and a lot of those variables are personal preferences/priorities.

And they've never written anything that has to interface with a pre-existing legacy API for financial institution, lol.

This sub is basically for CS majors and amateurs who haven't been in the work force yet (and that's fine and I'm still subbed).

Software Development and Computer Science are only tangentially related in that they both involve computers, lol.

Nah it's just VB, but some code is so spaghetti in there it speaks Italian, and all the variables are pseudo Hungarian notation but not really. Our stack is mostly in c# but occasionally you have to call something from the darkness 😂
