      The blunt truth of front-end engineering is that no user cares how beautiful your system is, only if it helps them solve their problem.

      Your data is immutable? You've adopted ES3074? You've functionally predictive? Nobody cares. Does it solve the problem? That's *the job*

          BTW, this is also the life-affirming thing about front-end work! You get to make things for people that help them solve their problems.

          Doing so quickly, without confusion...being the butler of intent...this is the task. It's what we do. Doing it well means invisibility!

          it's also true that having a good programming model enables faster iteration, reduces mental overhead as teams grow.

          @dev_jac immutable data is vital for stable multithreaded systems. Clean design is equally important. I care about quality.
