Frontend: Seeking your opinions and insights
I recently joined a company that utilizes AngularJS and has a lot of custom tooling. The project is well-structured, and I am learning new things. However, I've started to develop a fear that I might be missing out on a shiny new framework and will have a lot to catch up on later. Do all big tech companies constantly move to new, stable technologies? How do you keep up with the JavaScript world?
it takes one or two months max to pick up a new framework if you understand the underlying principles and challenges of building a UI framework and exposing an API to it so that others can use it, because all frameworks a fundamentally choosing a set of tradeoffs - and that set is tiny.
