Who are all these people that need all these tools to write stuff in js? Go back to coder school!
Is this what it means to look for a job in the startup scene in 2016? It seems overwhelmingly likely that you'll be dropped into some unholy, frankenstein-esque work of "art"
While JS has a few pain points that should be addressed by tooling, I'd draw the line at React and jQuery and a bespoke, well-kept utility library

You kind of need to settle on some kind of design pattern on how your data exists, flows, etc. You'll want to be reasonably DRY doing it. Whatever you code will probably be around the same scope. May as well use something that's already documented and done. Same some time. Then if you want to roll up your own bundler, minifier, manage your script tags on your own, spend more time testing, etc...well, that's up to you :)
- davidjnelson 11y agoCouldn't agree more. Having a central data model is so important to scaling an application to many engineers versus the alternative of state being all over the place or even worse stored in the dom, and also opens up some really simple ways to implement quite advanced functionality.
