    I feel bad because while I don’t reach for react (I usually pick Vue or vanilla), people’s comments about react is really depressing.

    There’s a LOT of shitty react code. And when you see beautiful react implementation, it’s like a work of art.

    Unfortunately, react projects have been given to by bootcamps grads with 6 months of experience and it’s like the blind leading the blind…

    I wonder if it’s like PHP. Lots of people shit on it because they had to futz around in a garbage project written by garbage developers, fully unaware that it can be elegant in the hands of a professional team who cares about code quality.

      PHP is great for building APIs to use with React or Vue. I’m happy I have so much back end experience with both good and bad code.

      My motto: if a Junior dev can’t figure out what I’m doing after two weeks of training, I’ve failed.
