I totally agree with the article, but i also find it ironic because this guy got his platform speaking at conferences which IMO as the root of JS fatigue.
If we didnt have JS conferences we wouldnt have the level of hype that goes into the next-new-shiney-thing. We wouldnt have a platform for companies to sell ideas and platforms to programmers that they dont need, and we wouldnt have the blog posts and opinions of people who go off to create new solutions to old problems etc etc
I totally agree JS fatigue is just another facet of capitialism. You are a programmer, and just like in the gold mining days, the people who got rich were the people spruiking wares to the miners.
Just like how Apple tells u, u need an iphone to be cool, the JS conference tells u, u need a framework to be cool.
And the key thing to remmeber is - dont beleive the hype. read the code, and make an informed choice. Every dependency in your project should be treated like a matter of life and death.
