I'm still confused as to whether this is an article for must-know frontend trends for 2020 or a very long advertisement for bit

See disclaimer: "Short disclaimer: I'm on the team building Bit. This doesn't make any of the following less true though. Enjoy!"

If you want to promote Bit, no problem! Write about it and what it brings to the table. I'm not aware of any Dev.to policy preventing you from doing so.

It is not a good idea to do it this way.

Dev.to slowly transforms into another Medium with ads and shitty articles.

If there are any beginners reading this post: please ignore virtually everything the author has stated as "must-know". Apart from typescript, it's a life-saver.
All 11 items are to be applied in certain scenarios and aren't the "default" for every use case.

He's not saying these things are must use, but rather just things to be aware.

Which I agree these are all useful trends to pay attention to as a front end dev

Damn! As a backend developer I came up with microfrontends years ago, when React+Redux was rising, but no one wanted to listen to me, so I just assumed I was wrong and frontend world has its own rules... :(

Nasty, conning way to promote your "bit" product bro... Just say right from the beginning that you are promoting your product instead of deceiving people.

I see that you updated the article and added the disclaimer. Reading this article, you mention Bit so many times, it seemed like it's a tool more popular than React or any other tool you mention. Reading it I was like: "wow did I miss something here?"; took only further investigations to eventually understand it is an advertisement, and wasted around 30 minutes of valuable time. If it works for you marketing-wise, good for you; as to me I avoid businesses that engage at such practices, making the internet less valuable as source of information.
