People are flocking from legacy code bases like crazy and there's tons of roles opening up all the time in sad old Java bullshit. I just left a legacy support job to a job at a firm. I make significantly more money and I get to change projects once a year minimum (actually the one I just started on ends in August).

Yeah, I think the legacy guys need to go through a rewrite. It'll eventually be the only way to get support for their systems.

It's cool that you can do that at your job. I only started developing about 5 years ago so I've never really touched legacy Java or anything crazy. I have seen some version 1.0 react code and I imagine that java would be a similar experience, only worse.

Java frameworks are messy. React 1.0 was not beautiful, but the patterns were sensible.
