Rails was engineered around developer happiness, and I kind of miss those days. And while React is cool I'm still kind of resentful that companies insist on using React and adding a whole Node env when basic jQuery would have done the job.
Web development could be stupidly simple if we wanted it to be. I feel like it got too easy, and suddenly there were waves of bootcamp grads, and a lot of developers resented that.

- gjs278 6y agoI still don’t understand what react is. can I use react + golang and no nodejs? it seems like every guide assumes I want to use nodejs and I don’t. can I use react and php?
