You make an interesting point. I mostly spend my time with JavaScript/TypeScript. Maybe it's less bad for those?

You know, that would actually make sense! JavaScript is a very wibbly-wobbly language (so many subtleties), and the frameworks are constantly shifting around, so y'all haven't run out of questions yet. And maybe y'all never will! There's also likely to be more respect for alternative solutions, since There's More Than One Way To Do It (because everyone is using a different stack).

I spent a lot of time in C++, C, Python, and ActionScript 3.0, among others. The problem definitely seems more acute over there.
