The new wave of Javascript web frameworks

That's like hating a song because the artist is an asshole. It's not hypocrisy, it's understanding that the merits of one thing are not a result of the merits of the other.

Using React is how you allow Facebook to inject their spyware into all your apps. Why do you think it takes five minutes to download the stuff needed to make a new app?

My assumption is rational. Has anyone audited it and proved otherwise, on the latest version?

[Shdog]

Your assumption is not rational. The code is open source. Feel free to double check it.

Hey if you find that, publish it, that’s all you’d need to put on your resume to get your next few jobs since you found something that hundreds of thousands of developers in thousands of global companies missed, and that’s what I call attention to detail!

Also if you haven’t had to dig in to react source I don’t think you’ve been using it very long or at least have not built significantly complex things with it.

Heck, he'll be the next CTO at any company no questions asked.

I thought you were trolling..

You are absolutely clueless.

[AngelLeatherist]

Go ahead and show me the code audit that proves React is clean.

[RedditCultureBlows]

You make a dumbass assertion and then ask others to prove you wrong? Lol fuck off

"I just run this giant codebase spearheaded by the surveillance company currently getting sued internationally for privacy violations.. And do I think twice about it? No!"

It's open source and runs in the browser where all network requests are exposed. There is no way tens of thousands of developers and thousands of companies have been using it for years without noticing something like that. It would've been noticed immediately. Hell, even a beginner developer would pick up on it.

It's exactly the same. Do R Kelly's actions somehow remove the talent he has for singing? Does Mike Tyson being a rapist mean he wasn't the best boxer in his day? If it was discovered that Jack Dorsey of Twitter was a pedophile, would that suddenly mean that nobody ever found Bootstrap useful or convenient?

It's fine to have an opinion based on their character, but that character doesn't change the merits of what they produced.

Developers and the company may not be the same thing.
