>Maybe all code is technical debt?

I am still removing jQuery like dirty splinters.

But also I am using Vue.js... (es6 modules are awesome) BUT, I am designing everything I build with Vue to be easily replaced with web components down the road. No extra plugins, no complications that super specific to Vue if I can help it. (fool me twice... prototype.js, sigh)

I am expecting to get rid of Vue.js in a 5 years or less depending on how long it takes for web components to catch up. (or another framework to replace Vue)

That being said, some of the vanilla js code I wrote years ago still works great, no need to replace it.

So, maybe technical debt is a trade off we can _manage_ with our systems consciously instead of "by accident".

I often say prototype.js was the FormMail.PL of Javascript.
