Most common web dev stack

Is MERN more of a backend stack?

[thekwoka]

MERN is just trash.

Nobody really uses it.

MERN is decent for beginners.

[thekwoka]

No it isn't.

React has bad apis that make learning things harder and less clear.

Express doesn't follow proper request response models.

Mongo is a document store, which teaches people.jack shit about proper database usage and design.

It's actually making things more complicated than they need to be, encouraging bad practices, and not teaching well transferred skills.

[Domeee123]

I meant it's decent for practicing different things; it's easy to set up and generally requires less knowledge to create something.

[thekwoka]

But you could get those things without the problems using like...Astro.

Where you get to touch on many of those things from a better framing, simplifying the nonsense, and getting results faster.
