Discussion on: Why still write articles to teach JavaScript?

JavaScript is a language in which one task can be solved in different ways. Therefore, if there is one solution, you can try to create a new one, and perhaps the invented bicycle will be many times better than the existing solution.

I often have to deal with various plugins and libraries that are needed in my projects, but often they lack some functionality or I just don't like the implementation, and then I open the code editor and try to create my own version. This allows me to develop my skills and be sure that if one day I need a solution, I will be able to create it from scratch, without wasting precious time.

And so, if we talk specifically about articles, the presence of a large number of articles does not guarantee that each of them contains high-quality material and/or there are no examples of real code. But there are also good articles, but over time many approaches and ready-made solutions become outdated, which makes the information in the articles irrelevant and it happens that the articles are not updated.

When writing a new article, try to write about something more interesting, and not repeat the most elementary basics of the language, and even more so you do not need to copy other people's articles.

Write articles and try to tell as much as possible about the solution of a particular problem and do not think that you are reinventing the wheel. Perhaps your article will be wonderful, useful and will be able to help other developers.
