Opinion-based, factless essays like this are why webdev is such an unmitigated cesspit. Some random person on Medium proclaims "Angular has already lost to React no matter how hard google tries to hide it, React has a really dangerous license rendering it obsolete for serious enterprises and Vue.js is mainly driven by a single genius developer (high bus factor)", pieces of cargo-cult gossip that mixes half-truths with generous loads of alarmist ignorance, and attempts to distill it down to absolutes under the guise of providing a public service.
By the time we get down to "backend", I have no idea what the author is trying to say, and whether it's actual advice or pent-up frustration bubbling up into resigned cynicism. We namedrop a framework for good measure.
If we collectively chose to interpret articles like this as satire, they'd provide more value by highlighting the fallacies that lead to the propagation of opinionated (but unfounded) information.
- rpeden 9y agoI don't mind this one because at least it is clear that it's an opinion piece. Reminds me of the good old days of blogging where writing what you think was what it was all about. I mostly dislike posts that try to pass off opinion as incontrovertible fact. I disagree with the author's opinion about Angular and React, but I didn't feel as though he was trying hard to persuade me to agree.
