Thank you! I feel like I’m taking crazy pills! Didn’t we have an entire multi-year SSR craze like 9 years ago and came to the same conclusion? But it’s React now so somehow it’s different?

9 years ago is how many bootcamp/accelerator/"full stack" classes?

sure, we‘ve created more developers since then than existed at the time, but still, it’s still in the web community.

But we didn't train them. We gave them no community beyond the JS pushers and no norms beyond personal success.

We tried. Again, and again and again. That's one of the reasons I'm thinking of leaving the industry.

This industry is f$^$ up. I have 20yrs exp., can literally start installing the os and go all the way up to FE perf. Yet, the only thing people wants now is someone who would do everything with React. Fuck that. Almost nobody NEEDS React. That's not for user's sake

The thing I honestly don't understand (well, one of them) is that it isn't even a good developer experience! Install this huge pile of libraries? Set up this script? Run this command to watch changes and rebuild? How is that a better experience than "put files in a folder; done"?

I think part of this is explainable by the fact that many have been doing most of this for years (arguably the beginning), and it moving into something js based and the nice parts of something like jsx instead feels like a better alternative

I locate this in the proprietary forks of HTML and JS that everybody is cool with suddenly. The tax that goes with them is high, and the build-time tax seems "better"

By default, they still transpile out the stuff we gave them 5 years ago! IE11 is the state of their art, and if you were stuck in 2013's constraints, proprietary forks might seem good to you too.
