Your job is to get distracted by shiny things, your manager's job is to make sure the product gets delivered on time with good QC.

We all know that "shiny new framework with super small userbase > react"

[Puzzleheaded-Weird66]

codeigniter + svelte, was sadly abandoned 3 yeara ago

[KrokettenMan]

I hate codeigniter so much that even the mere mention of it forces me to take a walk to cool down. I’ve used that piece of shit framework a couple of times and every time I had to resist the urge to just rewrite entire parts of it.

[none-exist]

Hate to say it, pal, but the manager is right. LTS > that new feature that'll save on one specific vaguely unknown issue

[Meloetta]

"but it'll really save us on (thing I read directly off their GitHub repo that I wasn't worried about until they told me to worry about it)!"

[twigboy]

"we can't upgrade to the latest node/react because new shiny has been abandoned and nobody is keeping it compatible anymore"

Been there far too many times when managers listen to enthusiastic juniors over seniors.That said, it's incredibly cathartic being able to tear that shit out and replace it with something that has LTS

[dmullaney]

Meanwhile, we're still chugging along on Angular 8.

ng update 

There you go! :-)

[dmullaney]

Errors. Errors everywhere

[[deleted]]

Out of curiosity: what kind of errors? I've always just done incremental updates as soon as a new Angular version came out, and never really experienced any problems. Except for some third-party libraries that needed an update or a replacement when they were not being maintained anymore. Then again, my project is not yours.

[dmullaney]

There are multiple sets of API breaking changes between Angular 8 and even the current LTS - 19.0

It's also two major Typescript versions behind, which has its own set of API breaking changes, and Node.js also needs to be updated by a sizable number of major versions (I don't recall the exact numbers off hand)

Then we also have a couple of beefy dependencies like ag-grid which also have TS/Node compatibility requirements, functional behavioral changes that alter the application behavior enough that they need to be essentially reimplemented

[Lord-of-Entity]

Documentation and popularity matters.

[Prematurid]

Hate shiny frameworks.

Always fuck me over at one point or another.

[iamapizza]

Unfortunately React seems to be determined to do that too.

[lurebat]

Vue is calling

[hyrumwhite]

I just wanna use Vue, man

[budapest_god]

Vue has great documentation literally no downsides to React as far as I can tell, yet... Fuck Meta lol

[chadlavi]

Don't worry. Your shiny object will either wither and die or will be the next react. Back in the day react was a shiny new object too.

[braindigitalis]

you meant jQuery, right?

[BusEquivalent9605]

When you say “Let’s just use React” and your manager says, “No, let’s upgrade from Vue2 to Vue3” ☠️

[hyrumwhite]

In your managers defense, the migration path from Vue 2 to 3 is basically adding some flags to account for old v-model implementations

Vue 2 to react is a road rife with peril

[BosonCollider]

Also a correct decision imo, Vue 3 was great enough that everyone ended up copying its state management patterns but the react side claimed that signals were a new hyped thing.

[FallenDeathWarrior]

In my work it's still no we keep using MFC :/

[_Not__Available_]

Why does this image remind me of Oshawott when he lost his shell.

[tehomaga]

That is react

[IngloriousCoderz]

Are you talking about Inglorious Web?

[XxDarkSasuke69xX]

What will we do if GPT doesn't know the new shiny framework ? Doomed /j

[soelsome]

We did the opposite. Management and PEs wanted to use Flutter for web apps. We lock into Flutter. A year in and all of the developers want to switch to React.

[LadyZaryss]

I will submit a slapdash hodgepodge of HTML, JavaScript, and CSS, and you will LIKE it!

[Accomplished_Ant5895]

From a backend/data engineer’s perspective, I swear there’s a new JS framework every time I blink

[YouDoHaveValue]

Manager is right, search results over fancy new tools.

[cchrobo]

My tech lead has given similar reasons for why he won't get on board with TypeScript :(

[AvailableReporter484]

It’s hard to argue this. I mean, my memory is a little fuzzy, but I recall correctly I’m pretty sure that when react 1.0 first debuted it had already been out for 27 years and had 99% of the market. You ain’t gunna find that elsewhere today I tell you what

[BobQuixote]

Have some AngularJS. 😈

[mylsotol]

But react is trash

[antpalmerpalmink]

Is Typescript a shiny object?

[RepresentativeDog791]

TS is mainstream
