> It turns out it’s useful to have a lingua franca for the web. No, I don't think so. Most people do not use JavaScript since it is useful. They use it since it is the only option available on the browser. There is a BIG difference.

I wonder if it is also the case that if the code quality is high, people are happy and they stay. This means fewer openings are available in those teams. Therefore, if you take a new job, it is more probable that the code is bad and there i
