The fact that you can have different coding styles and APIs in your project and it will work is proof that it is backward compatible. And, this is to be expected, because the React Core team prioritises backwards compatibility as one of the

This isn't really true though. There are plenty of open-source modules in Node which were released more than 5 years ago and are still in use today. People only move to new ones, when they are clearly better. What exactly is wrong with

I generally assume code is broken from the start now, but I don't think that this is because average code is getting worse. I think it's because there are more "solutions" to problems online (also, I'm more critica
