Are there Programmers here who can write 'raw' codes?

wow LOL that kind o funny dude

When I saw the headline of the topic I was expecting something along the line of writing machine/assembly code or if you’re badass, raw streams of binary or hexadecimal.

Raw codes are what the Margaret Hamilton wrote to send wrote to send the astronauts on Apollo 11 to space. You can find the code on Github. I think the heading should be rephrased since most people in the world and here on radar work with higher level languages.

And also from what I read at the top, I’m guessing you’re trying to find developers that un-buttress (made that one up) the use of plugins or third party libraries. A lot of folks have already posted some great benefits to using plugins and you might have missed a lot during your long holiday. But I can understand if that’s the way you like to work.

lol actually just one person :joy:

Well mate, that was a bit hash on the guy. Although you passed a good lesson, I believe you understood what he meant. Nice try “Building an Android app with NotePad or WordPad”.

However, I like the setting of your response.

Basically, I don’t see the argument here, all i see is that moment you trying to pass as overly geeky but end up being sidelined. Knowledge is neither invented nor owned, rather it’s acquired and passed. As developers, we build on the shoulders of another and not enter a challenge to reinvent.

That being said, there isn’t any such thing as building from scratch here bruv, even the environment ain’t yours. We could argue on about the advantages and disadvantages of frameworks, but they really are meant to pass on people’s knowledge to others mostly without charging a dime for it.

I’m yet to see a developer who likes writing 2000 lines of code for a task that could be achieved with 5 lines - Who developed on C#.Net when you have to create your own TextField as opposed to just declaring its namespace and initializing it.

I am happy i joined this channel of amazing individuals.

ya…it will.

“No jquery, no bootstrap
Eventually, we realized this wasn’t as crazy an idea. Most things we wrote were easily done in vanilla js.”.

I’m actually surprised that people were still replying to this post.

I saw the above link couple days ago, just thought I should post it back. And I noted the word “easily done.” That, I guess, was simply their preference and not some sort of tech macho. You can as well note how unique and extremely impressive that front end is!

I have nothing to say anymore.

By the way, I love the new paystack website.

Nevertheless, the developer never claimed to have written ‘raw codes’. Heck, he jettisoned jquery and bootstrap for smaller libraries including normalize, waypoint and animationplus. Those are meaningful obvious decisions given the scope of the work.

PS: Code bases are your friends, read them when you can. (Beyond the paystack site, I like the js scripts).

There’s a name for what you did there, it is called confirmation bias. You simply picked where they ignored jquery and bootstrap and forgot about them using AnimationPlus for transitions and Noun for icons. Besides, Wappalyzer analysis on the main paystack site shows some element of Craft CMS.

Very Valid. Thanks for pointing that out,

Exactly what I was thinking:

  • Some drivers for some archaic hardware
  • Bootloaders
  • Mini OS
  • Compiler architecture

I found:

  • CSS, HTML
  • Javascript
53

You’re taking this too far, what the guy said is easily understood.
I’m sure he never meant the Plaform/OS nor IDE/Editor.[quote=“Diakon, post:38, topic:9751”]
Nothing is built from scratch, everything is built on something built by someone somewhere.

These guys built a Network Stack from scratch http://unikernel.org/blog/2015/includeos-is-now-open-source. And they’re NOT shy about it.

54

Of course these guys http://unikernel.org/blog/2015/includeos-is-now-open-source never wasted theirs.

Some times, some projects call for it!
Of course I’m NOT talking bread and butter here (JS, Java, C#, PHP, Python).

55

I really was hoping you were right. But, apparently, you merely read a blog post. Nope. In the spirit of my original post, they didn’t build from scratch. I could point you to the libraries they built on but of what use is that since you didn’t even bother to verify their ‘claim’ (which by the way, they didn’t claim. At least not in the article you posted.)

56

I mean Network Stack!

Is someone trying to flex muscle here? MrChux just Checked Out
