> The more I read about the js ecosystem, the more it seems the inmates are running the asylum Let's safely call it immature. The principle objectives here: * obtain employment immediately * prevent unemployment forever Part of the problem is that people are taught one thing in school, expected to immediately find work, and the then perform something immediately different at work. That, or they are simply Java (or whatever fill in the blank) and get retasked to write JavaScript. What ends up happening is that people want to do their previous job in the context of their current job, such as write something that looks like Java in JavaScript. When that becomes the failure you would expect they blame the technology for not being their previous thing. Compounding that training failure is that JavaScript has a low barrier of entry. Some of the people writing in this language are less than brilliant. The end result is a cluster fuck as evidenced by frequently used terms like imposter syndrome, snowflake, Dunning Kruger, and so forth. The insecurity, fear, and delusion clearly evident to me as a corporate JavaScript developer. How do you solve for the obvious emotional failure that comes from the described lack of preparation? You hide under layers and layers of abstractions. You make life easier to the point of hoping code exists that does your job for you. Unfortunately that easiness is the opposite of slim or simple. It's great until it isn't if you aren't in a hurry.
