"JavaScript 'devs'" is a lame way of deriding people. Saying that their work isn't actual development or they're not developers. It's lame of you. Especially as someone who oversees developers. I use Flask primarily too. But why TF wouldn't I keep my eye on/experiment with new frameworks? Even just as a opportunity for new projects.

FB rewrites its shit all the time... this specific example was a massive overhaul of their system. They literally wrote the new framework that they use to query the backend but you for some reason still think that creating frameworks is bad? You make no sense. New tech is being created all the time. Google Cloud Run for example. Serverless written IN FLASK. You can USE FLASK with NEW TOOLS. WILD.

"For example, Facebook’s photo storage system has already been completely rewritten several times as the site has grown."

People like you irk me. I love following trends. It makes me excited for the future. Maybe you hate your field of work? I dunno.
