wow this is very similar to my experience...also in a .net shop now tho which i am only doing because the insane amounts of pay. I even have some old timers who literally told me they "refuse to learn anything new" but have known the boss for decades.. I've learned my lesson to read the situation better in terms of team makeup and company ethos when it comes to suggesting things like react.
- treeman79 6y agoDevils advocate. If they are building quality stuff that works well. Then they may be right about fighting against new stuff. I’m getting really tired of being handed 5-10 year projects written in an abandoned framework. Now they absolutely should be learning new things. This is our lot in life. To use it or not is a different question. Or they are just lazy.
- schwartzworld 6y agoThere's a lot of great reasons not to like React, but it's not a throwaway project. There hasn't been a new major player in the frontend framework space for years, and most of the little ones that pop up seem to borrow heavily from React. Additionally, the scale of its adoption seems to me a guarantee that it will stick around a long time. There's already Preact, but if one day Facebook stopped developing React, I'm sure someone would find a way to keep all that code running.
