I’ve been charged with rewriting a huge chunk of Javascript on my employers eCommerce site.
This Javascript represents years of arcane and contradicting business logic, interface decisions made by boisterous merchandisers with little to no perspective on user interaction, and a data model that is scarcely translated in whole to the front-end.
I have often been accused in my career for building things from scratch even with there is functioning but imperfect code laying around. One of my first nicknames here was “The Chef”.
I am certain nobody will ridicule me for choosing to take this one from the ground up though. Santa Maria!
Every line is crafted with perfection, this API will be a symphony. They always knew the words, I will teach them the music.
