I would love to hear what the people who inherited maintenance of your projects might say.
There's another word for boring: stable.
The mark of a good engineer is not the ability to craft sexy, clever, bespoke, ego-boosting applications. It's recognizing there's an appropriate (rare) time to do so.
If you want a challenge, there's always golf or Advent of Code.
- TheLoafOfBread 3y ago> There's another word for boring: stable. Regarding frameworks that works until your framework of choice stops being supported. Then the fun begins.
- jahsome 3y agoThe alternative is to create your own framework (named officially so, or not) which is by definition unsupported, unless your org prioritizes it. At which point you're in an identical position. Why not take advantage of the time it _is_ supported?
- mattgreenrocks 3y agoReact/Vue are not a requirement for a maintainable full stack app. Was all code prior to React guaranteed to be spaghetti? Of course not! Wisdom is knowing when to go custom and when not to. Proclaiming that it is rare may be more an indication of what sector and types of work you do instead of an industry truism.
- jahsome 3y agoI don't use react or vue. In fact, these days I don't use any frameworks, personally. You're absolutely correct the important decision is knowing when it's pertinent, i.e. when it serve organizational goals which of course vary by sector, project, and a dozen or more variables; and that was my point.
