Everyone is a developer.
This is the paradox of popularity. The theory goes that if you have a large pool of X to select from, then you can select the best of the best, and the quality of your selection will be amazing.
But it's exactly the opposite. Small groups are self-selecting for quality and big groups are self-selecting for quantity. O_O
English, the universal international language. The one we're speaking here, right now. The worst translators in the world are English translators. Everyone feels qualified to speak it and translate it. Finding a good English translator is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The more "easy languages" and "frameworks" we have, the more "programmers" we also have, and 99.999% of them have the faintest clue what they're doing, but they just keep hitting their keyboard with a hammer, and it compiles and produces interesting results, so they keep doing it.
This is also why social networks have an amazing set of interactions when they're new, and in an old social network you have hundreds of millions of users, but no one writes anything interesting, anyone barely reads, and it's full of scams, bots, clickbait and garbage.
There's safety in numbers, the saying goes. Not at all. If something is universally popular, and you choose to enter it, get ready for a shitstorm.
P.S.: Tailwind is garbage.
