Gregory's Server
@loke @mensrea Sorry for being obtuse; lots of orgs have picked up React because they were told it's industry-standard, that they would be able to hire for it easily, etc. etc. It turns out that React on its own doesn't get you very far, and so there's a ton of time and money that needs to be spent either building infra to support some agglomeration of state tools + SSR configs + component libraries, or investment in learning metaframeworks like Next.
The savings never materialise.
@slightlyoff i think there is another aspect to this. the "modern way" with frameworks, language abstractions (typescript), build pipelines, et al. make people think they're doing "real programming". so they keep layering complexity to solve problems caused by complexity because they're really smart @loke
