In an environment where you have choice, it takes developer maturity not to just leap on every new tool like this. But it’s wonderfully healthy for an environment to be so alive and full of innovation. Bazaar vs. Cathedral and whatnot. It’s easier for some to just be prescribed a specific SDK. |

I think it's an obvious truth that too little innovation/choice is bad. I don't think you'll find any arguments there!
Is there a point where too much of it becomes harmful? For close to ten years now, I feel that experienced and inexperienced devs alike have been confused and repulsed by the utter state of constant wheel-reinvention in the frontend space.
(Perhaps to my own detriment, I've focused on backend work because I'm waiting for the front-end situation to stabilize. Which of course may never happen. Maybe "full-stack dev" is something that will wind up in the history bin next to "webmaster")
This is a little bit insulting. Nobody wants to "be prescribed a specific SDK" - there's a large middle ground between that, and the current situation which has been chaotic for nearly a whole generation.I think the situation with backend frameworks is sort of what many would like to see. Django, Rails, Express, etc. No shortage of choice and there is innovation. Yet I don't think anybody would call it chaotic. For me that is a happy middle ground.
