Hate that everything needs React these days. I’ll stick to using Tabler and HTMX.

HTMX is cool but there are so many things it cannot even begin to compete with. SPA’s are essential in some situations.

hey look everyone, someone that doesn’t need a job or to collaborate with anyone

You have a strange view of how web development works. They can collaborate with others just fine using those or any other tools.

I have a view of how the market for talent works

People that aim to be employed do not spend time on things employers are not asking for

[hipadev23]

That sounds like a surefire way to ensure you'll be a cog for your entire career. Focus on delivering results.

how does that work if you wont be hired without prior experience in a particular stack to begin with

for current employment I’ve only ever seen teams push for using the next shiny thing solely to get that experience and professional validation in the current role, to be competitive for consideration in the next roles

[hipadev23]

It's unfortunately accurate that a lot of roles and people in those roles are indeed purely bullet-point driven for their resumes. If you're entering a role at a mid-level or junior, you're likely stuck with their tech stack choices. At senior or higher, it's usually about delivering results and the tech stack is up to you.

I've never paid much attention to specific job requirements, just whether or not I could solve the problems they were looking to solve.

[mock-possum]

That might be a realistic assessment but let’s not pretend the preponderance of react in the industry is a desirable state of affairs.

I really like Nextjs

Hey look everyone, someone who just does as they are told and has no original ideas to contribute.
