Goodbye Microservices: From 100s of problem children to 1 superstar

I still use jQuery regularly. It works well and doesn't get in the way. I'd rather work on a jQuery codebase written by a good engineer than a React codebase written by an average engineer, and there's no amount you could pay me to work on a Javascript codebase written by a bad engineer.

The problem you've identified is that most code, in general, is terrible. The code written by people who chase trends tends to be worse than average.

I wouldn't. React makes it hard to FUBAR a front end. JQuery makes it stupidly easy to write a spaghetti code unmaintainable mess.

React makes it easier for bad developers to do complicated things. They still end up writing spaghetti code.

You literally can't write spaghetti code in React due to one-way data flow. That's what prevents the spaghetti. UI is a function of state and props. JQuery is an imperative DOM altering library that isn't even necessary with modern browsers.

If I had a dollar for every person who told me that X prevents people from writing bad code, I wouldn't need to write code.

This. Instead of learning a handfull of technologies well they learn a lot of technologies very poorly. If I am hiring I now look at it as a red flag when people have too many frameworks listed.
