My career started in the transition period between jQuery everywhere and frameworks everywhere. Much of my work throughout the years was picking up after others who left/were fired. Main difference that I noticed between that time and the present day is that you hardly ever see unfixable monstrosities made by a lone-wolf one-man-army developer any more - at least in the Angular space, where as long as you're familiar with the convention, you'll manage. Much of that is thanks to TypeScript and the possibility to communicate to future maintainers what was your intention without writing paragraphs upon paragraphs of documentation. Of course the tradeoff is that it's all pretty heavy right now, but that's what frameworks like Svelte or SolidJS and generally the concept of Signals try to address. My take is that the moment we get Signals into the JS standard, this will all neatly fold like rows in Tetris.
