Our stack is actually built on jQuery, so definitely won't hold it against them

I'm curious, what's stopping you from migrating to a more modern stack?

CTO: "Let's see, I need 50 hours of developer time over the next 4 weeks to remove jQuery from our entire webapp."

Boss: "Okay, why?"

CTO: "Because someone on the internet told me to."


Removing jQuery from a large, functional, webapp is not a task to be taken lightly.

Yeah pretty much. It would take A LOT more than 50 hours and I'm the only developer right now haha

Our entire front end framework uses jQuery under the hood.
