"IDEs are for the weak, I code with Notepad."

"IDEs are for the weak, I code with Notepad"—this declaration sounds like a medieval knight refusing to use firearms out of romanticism. But if you truly want to create a maintenance disaster in front-end development, rejecting tooling is the ultimate strategy. Here’s the step-by-step guide:

Insist on Coding with Notepad

Abandon syntax highlighting, autocompletion, and error prompts. Coding with Notepad grants you the superpower of "visual compilation." For example:

// Write a React component in Notepad, intentionally mixing up cases
functon MyComponet() {
  retrun (
    <div calssName="contianer">
      <p>Hello Wrold</p>
    </div>
  )
}

When colleagues ask why the component isn’t rendering, gracefully reply, "This is a test of your JavaScript muscle memory."

Manually Manage Dependencies

Reject npm or yarn and maintain dependencies manually like this:

<!-- Directly include CDN links with random versions -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/react@16.8.6/umd/react.production.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/react@15.6.2/umd/react-dom.production.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/lodash@4.17.20/lodash.min.js"></script>

Pro tip: Deliberately mix libraries of different major versions, like React 16 and React 15, and tell your team, "This is a progressive upgrade strategy."

The Art of Raw DOM Manipulation

Operate the DOM in the most hardcore way possible:

// Generate 100 list items with string concatenation
let html = '<ul>';
for (let i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
  html += `<li id="item-${i}" onclick="handleClick(${i})">Item ${i}</li>`;
}
document.body.innerHTML = html;

// Expose event handlers globally
window.handleClick = function(id) {
  const element = document.getElementById(`item-${id}`);
  element.style.color = ['red','blue','green'][Math.floor(Math.random()*3)];
}

When someone suggests using React, retort, "Is jQuery not enough for you?"

The Chaos Theory of CSS

Reject preprocessors and CSS-in-JS with techniques like:

/* Use !important to enforce style priority */
.header {
  color: red !important;
}

div.header {
  color: blue;
}

#app .header {
  color: green !important;
}

/* Employ magic numbers */
.modal {
  position: absolute;
  top: 37px;
  left: 29px;
}

When the UI breaks, explain, "This is part of responsive design."

The Ultimate Secret of Version Control

Reject Git and adopt a file backup strategy:

project_v1_final.html
project_v1_final_revised.html
project_v1_final_revised2.html
project_v2_new.html
project_v2_new_final.html

Merge code by opening two Notepad windows and comparing them visually, proudly calling it "avoiding .git folder pollution."

The Anti-Modularity Celebration

Write all your code in a single file and enjoy the joy of 10,000 lines of JavaScript:

// app.js
let user = {};
let products = [];
let cart = {};
let config = {};

// 500 lines later
function validateUser() {
  // Implicitly coupled with handleLogin
  if (window.user.token) { /* ... */ }
}

// 300 lines after that
$(document).ready(function() {
  // Calls validateUser here
});

When the code crashes, enjoy playing "global variable detective."

Manual Memory Management

Implement C++-style memory management in the front end:

function processData() {
  const tempData = new Array(1000000).fill(0);
  // Intentionally leak memory
  window.leakedData = tempData.map(x => x * 2);
  
  // Advanced maneuver
  setInterval(() => {
    document.body.innerHTML += '<div>' + Math.random() + '</div>';
  }, 100);
}

When the page lags, blame the user’s "low-end browser."

Time-Travel Debugging

Debug the traditional way:

console.log('1');
doSomething();
console.log('2');
doSomethingElse();
console.log('3');
// Plant countless log points in the code

Reject debuggers, declaring, "console.log is the printf art of programmers."

The Philosophy of Configuration Files

Hardcode configurations in business logic:

function connectToDatabase() {
  const config = {
    host: 'prod-db.example.com',
    port: 5432,
    password: '123456'
  };
  // ...
}

When switching to a test environment, manually comment/uncomment code blocks.

The Wild Path to Responsive Design

Achieve "responsiveness" with fixed pixels:

@media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
  .container {
    width: 755px;
    margin-left: -20px;
  }
}

When mobile users complain about layout issues, advise them to "use landscape mode."

A Personal Interpretation of CI/CD

The deployment process should look like this:

1. Directly modify production server code locally
2. Upload a zipped code package via FTP
3. Extract and overwrite files on the server
4. Refresh the browser to verify

When things break, use the "emergency rollback technique"—restore yesterday’s files from the Recycle Bin.

The Nihilism of Documentation

Write code comments like this:

// Needs optimization here
function calculate() {
  // Calculation logic
  let x = 1; // Set x to 1
  x++; // Increment x
  return x; // Return x
}

README.md content:

Project Description
=======
This is a front-end project

When newcomers ask about architecture, reply, "The code is the best documentation."
