React was built to satisfy the specific scaling and complexity needs of Facebook, and this CV-driven industry jumped on board with it pretending that what's good for Facebook is good for them. The incentives are completely misaligned: it's like nobody gains anything out of using the least amount of force and abstraction to solve a specific problem.
- dyeje 9mo agoI did frontend before React, and it was a welcomed change. The core insight of UI being a function of state is a good one. It saves you a bunch of headaches from the jQuery days where you’d have multiple code paths per UI element (adding, removing, mutating). That said I think they lost the plot with hooks and things have gotten needlessly complex since then.
