Meanwhile I'm going to keep writing code that does stuff, and avoid labeling it.

Purity is useful in places, but serves no purpose if complicated enough that I can't explain it to my team.

FWIW React is a nice enough library, JSX is the first and only angle bracket UI design system that I like (sorry XAML), and it all works well enough with comparatively little ramp up.

I'll let other people argue what the proper abbreviation to describe my code is.

There are two hard problems in computer science: cache invalidation and naming things. Yes, and off-by-one errors.

Yes, you can just build stuff and not worry. And that can work out fine. On the other hand, muddles like these sow confusion and make sure you can't figure out how things hang together.
