I sure hope not. At my last gig we kept a suite of jQuery, Backbone, ko, and/or Angular1 apps happily chugging away with almost no extra support burden.

- mcguire 6y agoHow did you keep your developers' careers chugging away? Did "oh, we only used jQuery and Angular1" go over well in the interview?
- vb6sp6 6y agoIt goes over great with talented people who are tired of relearning the same things over and over again. The ones that need to "chug" every 2 years can go somewhere else.
- phist_mcgee 6y agoSomeone has to keep the legacy code running. But seriously though, talented people are attracted to career progression, exciting projects, and money. Those three things do not all coalesce on Angular1/jQuery apps anymore. It just does not happen.
- ng12 6y agoRight, the apps we're actively working on are React+TypeScript+GraphQL. The Angular1 and older apps are the ones that require minimal investment.
- jmull 6y agoIf you’d never developed an app/system for more than a few years, I would be thinking of hiring you as a junior engineer. If you were willingly involved with rewriting your app/system every few years in the latest trendy language or framework, I probably wouldn’t be thinking of hiring you.
