A lot of devs justify the time they spend keeping up with the technological Joneses as necessary to keep pace with current trends (especially in UI). I think it is a bit of a cope though, because users just want to solve their problems.
They don't care about React or htmx. They just want something that fixes the problem.
This is actually very freeing: meet a real need and you don't have to believe that software development consists on running on a treadmill of constant changes for their own sake. Just do the job competently.
- arvinsim 2y agoWe don't live in a world where every dev can choose the technology they work on. Most of the time it is dictated by the whims of corporate(by making frameworks/tools as part of a job requirement) or by the mob(teams need to collective decide what technology to use).
