This is going to sound selfish, but I liked being a solo React Typescript developer. My colleagues worked on UI/UX, back-end, DB, specs, etc, but I was responsible for the React code and I could just iterate and iterate without having to submit every change as a pull request.

Now with Laravel, Blade and JQuery the IDE support is low but everything is easy enough and we work as a team and do merge requests and it's a chill job even if it's full stack.

Hilarious its come full circle again. React was a breath of fresh air for fe's back in the day, and now we're back at jQuery! Why the switch from React to Laravel/Blade/JQuery?

Being a solo FE rocks. Everyone thinks you're a magician. The worst is FE-by-committee where you get 'full-stack' devs but really they're 99% postgres and 1% html.
