There's a lot that I don't understand in this post: First, a mantra that I see repeated on Hacker News posts, is "pick boring technology." I don't understand why they kept with NativeScript so long with all of it's problems; and I don't understand why they didn't learn their lesson and just do a boring (but reliable) Java app. But more importantly, why did the author stay so long in that job? I've been in a situation where I was forced to work in ^$#%^ stacks, and I left for a different job. Life is too short to waste time in a job like the author describes. Finally: It's so important to "fail fast" with technology. There are so many tools, frameworks, kits, that just don't live up to their promises.
