Thank you for the feedback! And it sounds like we've had some similar career experiences.
If you read any more of my stuff, you'll probably see that one of my recurring themes is the rejection of dogma and "fanboy-ing". After you've done this stuff for long enough, it's almost impossible not to develop some very strong opinions about certain things. I'm certainly no different. There are some tools/languages/frameworks/etc that I truly dislike. And of course, there are some that I love.
But what seems to be missing from the professional discourse is anyone else's acknowledgment that most of their strong feelings are just that - feelings. Opinions. Anecdotal observations. Instead, someone decides that "classes are bad" or "tabs are wrong" or... whatever. And then they try to yell down anyone who dares to disagree with them.
And seeing all of this in the JS community is especially rich for anyone with a little historical perspective. JS devs used to be grateful to just get an interview. Now, many of them act more conceited than the worst Java/C++ devs from back-in-the-day.
