I never understood the craze over React. I tried it, and I didn't like it. It may work for Facebook's use case, but to me it looks like a lot of people are unnecessarily rebuilding their front ends with React just because it's hot.
- sotojuan 9y agoA lot of our industry hires based on buzzwords. For web developers, it pays to have React experience in their resume. Doesn't matter if the app they built didn't need it at all.
- weka 9y agoDepends where, though. I'm based in the South, Alabama, and most of the jobs here want C# or Angular (1x... specifically). I rarely, rarely see React mentioned. Of those who want JavaScript experience, it's usually followed with "Do you have any .NET experience?"
- sotojuan 9y agoYeah same back home in Texas (Houston, not Austin). NYC and SF are different stories :-)
- amackera 9y agoFacebook's use case happens to mirror a great deal of web products currently.
- mercurysmessage 9y agoCertainly not in scale.
- amackera 9y agoThat's true, but React doesn't directly deal with those problems (and certainly not the parts specific to Facebook).
