Honestly it’s exhausting seeing endless posts from people who don’t do frontend development saying “wow, looks awful!” having made zero effort to actually understand the scenario. > They seem to have no respect for peoples time or any consideration for longtermism or even just the common decency of backwards compatibility You mean Svelte 5, the backwards compatible framework that makes all of its new features an optional opt-in? That one? > What are we at now, React 19? Allow me to introduce you to the concept of semantic versioning, otherwise known as “a versioning system that has defined meaning”. Any breaking change means a new major version, which is why the numbers increment at a rate that is apparently terrifying. These breaking changes are often absolutely tiny and trivial to adapt to. I don’t even like React but the upgrade path between major versions is rarely a big deal. You’re taking a non-semantic versioning mindset (new version number? Guess I have to rewrite everything!!) and applying it in a scenario where it doesn’t fit.

There's much bigger topics afoot in the world that also make me think humanity desperately needs better tools to defend & equip ourselves with broadscale collaborative efforts to shut down & reject-by-default negative-valence posts. The hater-squad has the easiest job on the planet attracting some fellow people who also want to resist learning, change, or who want to feel more secure in their current position. The Dark Side is strong.
