This rant is about a bad habit some developers pick up and seem to have a hard time ditching again… even after gaining lots of experience.
I guess it is to be expected. After having been burned one too many times by missing error handling, in the software they work on, they become overprotective. But it often overcomplicates the code and leaves room (extra lines of code) to place “a fix”, where “the fix” does not belong. Of course, there are plenty of gray areas, murky waters and personal opinions of … exactly where to slice the cake.
Building ClojureScript Single Page Applications (SPA) on Netlify just works. The following instructions require no prior knowledge of neither Netlify nor build tools (like Shadow-cljs, WebPack etc.), but some knowledge about HTML and Git is expected.
Update 2022-02-20: Requiring single icons using :refer causes ALL Hero icons to be included in builds (even optimized). Instead, use :as (multiple times). Examples below have been updated.
In my opinion, Clojure and ClojureScript is lacking in the documentation department, especially when it comes to integrations with things outside the Clojure ecosystem.
