One thing that is, unfortunately, a bit neglected in the post: dependencies deprecate and JS has a lot of them. One npm audit shows a lot of vulnerabilities for the long trail of dependencies in my Angular 4 app. My web app uses Hapi 17 and many plugins have changed APIs in the more recent version. This fact alone leads to many heavy refactorings and even rewrites. As a solo dev, I can only try to reduce dependencies (taking a massive hit on productivity) or keep up with the newest way to write stuff in my former self’s framework of choice.
