Meh alert(“here”); is better

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Not sure why you would say that. An alert() does not show you where in the code the alert was called from. A console log would show you.

There was a time when there was no console.log in javascript. Oh and browsers didn’t even have developer tools.

I remember those days. My comment still stands, I don't know how your new reply explains why alert() is better in any way, shape or form. 😅

Oh, it’s a joke with a touch of irony. Maybe even sprinkle some sarcasm in too.

Gotcha. It wasn't clear to me but fair enough 👍
