It's becoming a recurring phenonemon, isn't it? I feel the same with frontend web development: everyone wants to be Facebook.

preaching to the f'ing choir here mate.

The volume of material out there written to help people improve the performance of their React applications makes it pretty clear to me that folks aren't looking before they leap.

I've seen more than a couple dozen projects with ~20-40 lines of simple, performant, vanilla JS turn into multi-hundred line behemoths + _an entire React framework_ for exactly zero benefit to end users because of "best practices".
