Totally agree. It’s a bedrock technology that’s near-universal as far as company needs, at least in startup and web development environments.

The JS framework churn makes me super appreciative of the stability that SQL brings.

JS framework churn isn't what it was five years ago

  • You're right, it's far far worse now.

    • Citation needed? I've been using React for 5 years and don't foresee not using it any time soon.

      Even if it's still true, "churn" translates to progress. It would be hard to argue complex web application UI development isn't better off now than it was 10 years ago.

  • I know. Things were so much nicer 5 years ago just before React, and the other myriad frameworks we have now, came out.

    • Out of curiosity, which frameworks/libraries are you referring to, and why do you think they are nicer than the "UI as a function of state" style libraries like React?
