Re:Why is front-end development so unstable? (2018) by ricardobeat on Tuesday May 31, 2022 @11:54AM (#31571039)
You said 'It's a React/MobX collaborative model editing internal tool' so I assumed you're commenting based on that particular project. It's not a value judgement either way.

The kind of development you do (product / projects / marketing) makes a huge difference in your experience, how often you get to start from scratch (= latest versions of everything) vs maintaining existing codebases. I don't think that's controversial. You could use the same stack for every project, but people and teams change and want to catch onto the latest "advancements" in the field.

Yes, this whole time you’re assuming I’m doing the bare minimum, and that no one could be using the same tools.

Yet, here I am, new apps in hooks based react, old ones not, and the same stack delivering great performance in either case - DX is only suitable in some tho

I’ve used Context only, SolidJS, Angular, whatever you like these days, I still would only build real apps with MobX. Typescript is the only real change since 2017 you need, otherwise what’s newer is not what’s better since then. That’s the point. Take care and try to not get lost in the noise, it’s very different than what came before it
