I feel software development is going backwards but I guess that is more to do with the platform (web) whereas I coded for Win32/Win64.
I did years of OO and component re-use and encapsulation was a thing and as you mention React started this way before going, dare I say, quick and dirty.
But web dev isn't quick and dirty, its slow and painful having to have UI/API Layer/DB and having to marshall data back and forth between the 3 tiers. I (30 years ago with Delphi) I could do OO, visual inheritance, 2-tier, 3-tier, WYSIWYG development so could churn out apps way way faster than now.

Hey! Thank-you. I know what you mean, React has a very interesting paradigm where some new developers may not have ever touched OOP! Really interesting to hear your perspective, thank-you for sharing!

Great read (even as a Gen X'er).
