I used to resist learning new tech in the web space some years ago. I thought it was all too complex for no reason. Then one day I realized how wrong I was.
There are problems with the state of JS, but there are a lot of conveniences as well. You don’t need to install every library to create an application, but if you’re making something that is scalable and easily maintainable, there are systems that help with that.
Also, deploying here from the days of FTP to what we have now is vastly superior in every level in my opinion because we can have things do the work for us.
Like I said, it's not about learning anything new, it's about all those dependencies people keep adding without too much thought. Whenever there is something that needs to be fixed, or new feature added, first thing everybody says is "There's an plugin/library/package for that!". Nobody stops to think what exactly is being added, or how it works, will it bring some new problems, or is it the best solution in general. Maybe you can solve it with vanilla code, maybe you can't, but nobody even thinks about that.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
