Today, there are dozens of JavaScript frameworks are alive and everybody is suffering from two major problems:
- Framework fatigue
- Choice paralysis
And there are countless thousands of NPM packages.
But the problem is that the web is so dominant.
We can’t avoid it.

There were days of Netscape and IE5.
Since then the web has evolved from a platform for text and images to a platform that runs complete applications.
The web today is so much more powerful than it was 20 years ago.
It’s like comparing a calculator to a PC.

Angular & React, Vue:
They are not comparable:
Angular is a fully fledged framework whereas the latter are focused on the view model which means the rest is up to you.

Stuff changes so freaking fast.
At first you think, “it’s me. I can’t keep up.”
Soon you'll realize that you should stop chasing.

Now it’s Vue.
It’ll be something else 2 years from now.

Just remember, there is no perfect programmer.
We all mess up.
We all look at our code later and go, “Oh, I could have made it better, here, here, and here.”
Software engineering has become a refinement process.

- Have peer reviews
- Lots of pair programming
- Build pipelines
- Organize deployment
- Type on chat/email for 1-2 hours a day
