I was lucky to learn this lesson very early in my career: there is no silver bullet, any single tool, no matter how good it is, must be evaluated from the engineering point of view of pros and cons. Everything has a cost, and implies compromises. It's a matter of ROI. Which is hard to evaluate without experience.
JS technologies are reinventing the wheel and breaks compatibility often. More examples are provided.
So it is coming back to reason:
- YAGNI is popular again
- Vue, HTMX and unpoly, alpine.js or just vanilla are getting traction.
- There is talk of coming back to using Postgres for most things.
You do need the cloud, containers, nosql, go, rust and js build systems. Modern software requirements, customers’ expectations and incredible new features are not to be ignored.
Just not for everything.
