I built a fairly successful vc funded startup with a front end lead that thought this way about frontend frameworks. For a suitably complex application what happens is that you end up organically building your own framework in order to manage the mess of application state that is the screen. Now in order to spin up, new engineers need to learn this unusual organic framework to get things done rather than just use the excellently documented React that they likely already know.
- dmalik 2y agoYa. This is why React is popular. It's just a bunch of decently good front end best practices. Popular, not the best X for Y but with easy replacements.
- mmcnl 2y agoYeah. Seniority should come with the realization that all tools are there for a reason and every engineering decision is a trade-off. Accept that maybe you don't know everything and be open to change your mind. All these "opinions" don't get you (or your employer) anywhere.
