Not the foundation, your tools changes every 36 months. Your foundation is what makes you immediately recognise what paradigms and techniques are used in the new framework and at least have a hunch of the consequences it has for your project.
If you lack those foundations, it will of course feel like everything is new all the time, because you don’t recognise the patterns and you just see a lot of trees everywhere.
- philipswood 5y agoFully, I'm in agreement. After having seen a few frameworks/platform/languages picking up a new one becomes easier.
- withinboredom 5y agoSorta and as long as those new things aren’t relatively novel, I can agree with that. I do some JS every now and then, but Redux was a pretty novel solution to JS and so was React. At first, no one knew how difficult it would be to do certain things that were once easy. A lot of time was spent discovering best practices across the community. Were all these things new? No. Was the combinations of language, patterns and paradigms new, yes. It was relatively new. I had experience with event-oriented systems in C# at the time, but there was no way I could have predicted how hard it would be to make a simple form in React + Redux at the time.
