I don’t deny any of those things. I think you’re reading way too much into my statement. I understand why people pick familiar tools and the cost of hiring and training people and getting up to speed on new stuff. It’s always a balance, and it’s why I don’t really like these posts that completely dismiss JavaScript and act like it has zero benefits. I was on a team recently that only wanted to do Rails apps. They only wanted to make monolithic apps. Any mention of a more modular design would be met with derision. I don’t think this attitude is unique, though. And it’s really hard to overcome and see balance when the entire team clearly has no interest in changing or updating their skill set.
