@slightlyoff I'm not even sure that we world-historically rich programmers would be giving up much by going with one of the newer, lighter frameworks (e.g. Svelte, Solid, or Lit) instead of React. Or do we need to give up front-end JS frameworks altogether and go back to manual, imperative DOM manipulation?

@matt They wouldn't be giving up anything but bankrupt intellectual commitments, and apparently those are the hardest to put down.

Matt Campbell

@slightlyoff You mean they don't want to admit they were wrong to choose React, or something else?

@matt It's a whole thing...a series of false premises about what's good vs. bad for frontend; a pile of skills that don't hold their value through a new lens on the problem.

@slightlyoff Sounds like a good subject for a blog post, unless you wrote about it already. Especially the pile of skills that don't hold their value.
