⚛️ Is it Time to Regulate React? / David Bushell
｢ React exists as a profound perversion of the web platform. #React has failed upwards to widespread adoption because it provides a “developer experience” that bypasses the hard parts. Like learning HTML, or CSS, or #JavaScript. Even learning React itself is discouraged; that’s for adults, you should use meta-frameworks. React devs are burdened with multi-megabyte monstrosities before they’ve written a single line of code ｣

@jbz It's bizarre for me. When I was learning React, people said, "No, the new thing is Angular." And then people said, "No, the new tool is Vue."
I finally said to myself, "You know what? The projects I'm making are small enough that I can just stick with HTML/CSS/JS, I don't need to learn the framework-of-the-month."
