Why most companies use react not other frameworks?
Others like vue, svelte
I saw most job description mentioned react and angular not others

there are many reasons, including but not limited to:
- cheap talent pool
- big talent pool
- familiarity
- re-use of existing code from other projects
- resistance against big changes
- productivity
- existing tools being more mature
Understood, historical problem is Hard to change the direction of trend, so the function of other framework can’t influence production applications but side projects😪
yeah, you use it in a side project
if others in the company like it, then it may catch on
the problem is that there's a much smaller talent pool in the company, to maintain the project
so, either it gives you some safety or you become useless for the company redundant once the project is dropped
Also, “it works for [insert big corp here] so it’ll be great for us!”
Which is silly, because different companies have divergent needs. But it is what it is.
if you have many talents, you can more easily be re-allocated
useless micromanaging life leeches middle-managers love that
Yep!
I think I can’t find chances to use them in companies, most time I need to get fit with the tech that companies are using
that's how companies are
I feel bored of same category tasks everyday, but when i look market, i feel all are same requirements, can’t find something new
personally, im okay with that
everyday, i do something new in the same languages, and im perfectly fine with that
How could you find new 🤔
I think i need to try
well, last week i had to implement an image uploader
i hadn't done that in 4-5 years
i needed to handle errors from the server and client side, validate the image, put the image in a specific path and use an incrementing hash to generate an unique name
stuff i haven't done in a lot time
oh, and i had to convert it to jpeg (old old old code-base, before es6)
Why before es6
Can’t upgrade?
nope
the build tools and the pipelines are all working with node 12
Ok
that's how legacy projects go
it doesn't even support typescript
if i try to use classes, it crashes uglify - since it doesn't have a transpiler
and it uses gulp 0.6.5
Gotcha
I even forgot how to write pure js code after long time with react, pity
that's all i write, with jsdoc and (when i can) some typescript just for type checking
That’s nice experience of this type task
I need to make some different perspectives for tasks and keep it in mind, otherwise, I become job hater
you can work on other things on the side, for personal projects
Ye, if I have hobby side project will become better and better
and it is experience
