The only real Danish cartoon band is Disneyland After Dark. They are welcome on my playlist any day! (Yeah they had to tweak their name a tad, but WE KNOW!)

In the 1980s there was a very cool band in the SF Bay Area that played mostly old cartoon music. I still have a bootleg tape of them.

Let's not draw any conclusions that may incorrectly set the tone of the thread.
Just note well that animate does not refer to bestiality !*

Got assigned a task to add some functionality to the front-end.

Much gnashing of teeth
I try to have a positive attitude. Really, I do. I know that my distaste (like the way stomach contents tastes as it comes back up) is a self-fulfilling prophecy of loathing, it's just so hard to think positive thoughts.
Oh well...here I go...

I've evaluated that library a number of times over the years.
At one point read a book on it and finally determined it is the middle ground of nothingness.
It takes way too much esoteric knowledge to use the API and it still doesn't greatly speed up your development.
Awfully pretty little widgets they give you though.

Actually, as the new guy just pointed out, it's about 10 times slower than Angular or React.

Really? They suck. Their layout capabilities suck. You want good looking widgets? jQWidgets UI for Angular, Vue, React, HTML5, jQuery and Javascript[^]
From personal experience, they are amazing.

If you decide to delay the procratination until tomorrow, maybe you will succeed.

Exactly. I have a very witty reply to the whole thing for instance, but I don't think I'll be bothered posting it before tomorrow at the earliest... I'll wait and see...

Kinda like our current code - no fewer than two dozen javascript functions that create a kendo-ui grid (using the kendo-ui stuff from 2013), and that all do something a little different. Instead of creating one function to rule them all that accepts a single options parameter, we have a crapload of grid.js files. If you need to add a grid somewhere else in the app, youhave no real recourse other than to create yet another grid.js file and perpetuate the bad practice because you might break something if you try to "fix" it.
I have javascript.

I see the same thing in C# and C++ production apps. People copy/paste code all over the place instead of creating a single method. The logic for having done this is "someone might change the function and break us".
I hate it. It's not the language, it's stupid-ass scardey-pants "programmers" that should go dig ditches instead.

This sounds remarkably similar to my job over the last couple of years. Since my team has been reduced to 5 from 17, all of us have assumed the responsibility for other people's wretched crap code. I've become remarkably better than I used to be at doing this. There is even a certain level of satisfaction with fixing a problem without succumbing to the urge to rewrite the great steaming pile whole thing.
When I return to working on my own towering edifice of magnificence stuff, I have to be careful that I don't use the godawful approaches practices from the other folks' code.

There is much, much truth to that.

I love that their website has a button for Japanese, but once you're on the Japanese site there's no button for English.
I guess that's a great metaphor for using their libraries
