Amen to that. The fact that still are in "here's a 'better' idea, let's try this" landscape in JavaScript is depressing.
I no longer jump on these new frameworks when the bandwagon flies by. I ignore postings for jobs saying they are rewriting their system in "new Framework Y!". I don't care how "pure" your new design is, I care about having it work well in the trenches.
I, too, am tired.
And old.
- amenod 7y agoInteresting way of thinking - hooks _are_ a new framework, they are just marketing it under the same name. I guess I'm old too. When someone shows me what (real) pain hooks solve on non-Facebook-size codebases, I'll be all ears. Until then... Thank you, classes work just fine and make my code nice and readable.
- enobrev 7y agoReact Hooks and Containerizing Everything are the things this old "Webmaster" is kicking down the road until all the bugs are shaken out. I also skipped gulp and grunt and jumped straight into webpack, which I've read far too much about to understand so little.
