It's very reasonable for someone new. It's batshit insane for anyone who's been in the industry for about 20 years. But that doesn't matter. The only thing that does matter is finding tech that you're productive with, and you've found it, so everyone else's input is pretty moot. In addition, it sounds like you've found the right idea anyway which is: avoid complicating work.
It's a real tangible accomplishment to find a tech stack you're productive with and don't have to change or update frequently. So, congratulations!
The last major real revolution on the backend in my eyes was Sinatra, not for Sinatra itself, but how it changed how everyone wrote web servers. The last real revolution on the front end was Angular.js (v1.x) and then shortly after, React.
There's a lot of change year after year in the real world, but a majority of it you can ignore.
- tored 5y agoNo, what matters is user experience & user satisfaction. That is why this frontend churn is useless because it doesn’t improve either.
- midrus 5y agoIt is really sad but in my experience the only improvement provided.bybthese tools are regarding developer experience (and some times, not even that!). We're trading our own dev experience and sacrificing our user's. For proof, look at the new reddit, and so many other react apps which even with modern macs feel terribly slow and clunky
