JavaScript employment always felt like a spoons versus shovels type story. https://www.aei.org/carpe-diem/milton-friedman-shovels-vs-spoons-story/ https://www.aei.org/carpe-diem/milton-friedman-shovels-vs-sp... If you cannot do the job without things like React, Angular, or jquery you may not be qualified to write that code. On a bigger level if you cannot create an original application from scratch you aren’t a senior developer and if you don’t measure things you aren’t an engineer. Nearly every other professional line of work has solved for this with some combination of licensing and/or broker/agent model. Developers tend to be scared shitless of industrial baselines of qualification assessments. Again, I am saying all this as someone who wrote JavaScript for employment for 15 years and still love writing in the language.
