Great article. This quote in particular resonated for me: "I had to let go of doing it The Right Way from the get-go, and allow myself to fumble through using suboptimal or just plain amateur setups just to get comfortable with individual tools" Coming from languages that have good build and dependency management tools, JavaScript is a highly unproductive developer experience. Yes, you figure it all out eventually, but I shudder to think how much developer productivity is wasted today on JavaScript ecosystem complexity and constant tooling and library churn. Hopefully 5 years from now, we'll all be looking back in disbelief at what we used to put up with to build web apps.
