Tools I love to build web apps with:
React
React Router (v6)
react-query
React/Cypress @TestingLib
Reach UI
@emotioncss
msw
react-error-boundary
@fbjest
@Cypress_io

And a framework like react-scripts or Gatsby or Next.

And that's pretty much the main/common stuff.
I just use colocation for state management (that includes composition and sometimes context when necessary). Don't need anything else even in "large enterprise apps." react-query manages server cache/state super well 👍
Maybe throw in a styled-system in there for teams/consistency a well.
I've got an app with this stack that's scoring 99 on lighthouse perf so...
And it's actually a create-react-app based app served on netlify. So no server rendering either.
Not that I think you shouldn't server render. You probably should. Just saying you don't have to server render for good perf.

Ok, so let's talk about this for a second.

First, I apologize for not being more clear in the original question. I did try to clarify in following tweets. I was asking about United States Federal Income Taxes. And it was a bit of a trick question.

(Thread)
Before getting into it, I just want to make it clear that I'm not demonizing Amazon for how many taxes they pay. They do pay all the taxes they're legally required to pay. The problem does not lie in Amazon (or all the other big companies this applies to), but in the US tax code.
Oh, and yes, I acknowledge that these companies are doing stuff with the money they're not giving to the government, but the fact remains that Amazon (and similar companies) are closing other tax-paying businesses which results in overall less tax revenue for the US.

A company should not require you to work extra hours (I think even a 40 hour work week is too much).

If you want to work *for yourself* on weekends and evenings to level up then sure, do it.

I wouldn't have the freedom I have now without doing that in my 20s.
I still do that sometimes, but not nearly as much. I overdid it a bit occasionally (at the expense to my personal health and family). I probably could've made it fine by being more balanced.
If you just want to clock in for work, get stuff done, then clock out having given good work for your company in a reasonable amount of time and be done with it, that's great. Do that.

I just wouldn't have the career success and freedom that I have today if I had done that.

This pattern:

test('whatever', () => {
const foo = someThing()
// use foo
})

makes for a WAY simpler testbase than:

let foo
beforeEach(() => {
foo = someThing()
})

test('whatever', () => {
// use foo
})

Avoid mutable variables. Your tests will be easier to understand
To be clear, you can see what I recommend in kcd.im/aha-testing
Mostly what bothers me is sharing variables and nesting of `describe` blocks. I've written a lot of tests, and nesting makes them so much harder to follow.
