I feel its hard to articulate how broken react/typescript/the front-end ecosystem generally is unless you do a project with another paradigm.
I did an iOS app for a fairly important production use case around 2017 and once I relaxed and did the work to slow down and learn instead of just trying to get functionality to work it was a great experience.
I lost almost all taste for FE when react came around (elm was fun). Felt broken then, feels especially broken and taped together now. Somehow still the default.
- xnx 2y agoDid ease of simple development peak with Visual Basic?
- pclowes 2y agoMaybe but I think it is fair for users to want richer more reactive experiences, especially with highly complex UIs in the browser. However, react is 14 years old and there are (IMO) better options with cleaner abstractions available (hotwire, liveview, svelte)
