This seems like a lot of independent concepts to grok + configure to create a webapp. Especially when a viable alternative might be PHP +Postgres + jQuery. I guess I'm just old and cranky anymore :)
- borplk 9y agoBelieve me I used to do lots of PHP+Postgres+jQuery but after experiencing React I just feel like shooting myself after writing some CSS selectors and binding event handlers. It feels like trying to start a fire with a stick when you have a lighter in your pocket. But as I said the boilerplate and friction is still unbearable.
