Obligatory "front end is a mess" comment. I taught at a bootcamp for 6 months, it was a great experience but when we moved on to react after vanilla JS the amount of incidental complexity was a huge step up, even with create-react-app. Now they push people towards adding a server side framework at the same time, right off the bat? I think there's a real danger with new engineers entering the industry that they have no chance to develop a proper mental model of the underlying tech stack the way so many libraries, frameworks, packages, bundlers are thrown together just to get something working. You think the docs should just start with using plain React, and then branch off in to SPA Vs SSR later.
- devwastaken 4y agoReact is for Facebook problems. Facebook is not concerned with "new engineers" at this time, nor have they ever really. Big tech contributes the least to education and pays little in taxes.
