I find this argument so absurd. If you know JavaScript and basic programming, you can use any front-end framework.

We're hyper-specializing people in a specific framework that then don't even understand the basics of JavaScript itself.

I already find the divide between frontend and backend developers unnecessary the majority of the time. This takes it a step further and in turn creates monstrosities like the leftpad debacle.

Can we stop with this nonsense? Hire good developers and let them spend 5 minutes to learn the god damn framework of the week. If your hire can't learn React in a week, I have some bad news for you.
