This is a long-winded rant that seems to boil down to advocating for avoiding frameworks altogether. Not worth the watch.
TLDW: “the whole point behind this video, guys, is maybe we should ditch React because all of these changes are because of short-sighted architecture, and maybe we all shouldn’t just be these herd animals that are constantly taking and following the herd from one section of the field to the other you know we keep going around in circles and getting nowhere.”
- phailhaus 7y agoSounds like he's never had to develop a complex stateful application. In the comments he suggests we can get away with just using "raw js and a decent MVC framework", which becomes unmaintainable very quickly.
- olavgg 7y agoThere is no such thing that raw/vanilla js is unmaintable, what is unmaintainable is stuff that breaks regulary and vanilla/raw js never(almost?) breaks.
- phailhaus 7y agoEr, what? The language is not what is breaking here, your application is. If you try to build a complex stateful application with no frameworks, you will more than likely create an unmaintainable buggy mess. You won't be able to reliably add new features without breaking something else.
- ryannevius 7y agoAnd he continues: "So what is my proposal? I don't really know." But then also: Use Polymer.
