Knockout was the last time I felt I really understood the js ecosystem. Since then it’s a mess of npm, webpack, and long complicated front end builds to do simple things.
What interesting is of all the js code I’ve written the code that lasted the longest was pure business logic Written in vanilla js, separated from any library or framework. It’s gone through knockout, angular, and react versions of the site, and people always try to rewrite it the new way, but it just doesn’t work as well and they end up writing a thin simple shim to bridge the old and new code.
