I agree with the line at the end of the article that says:
Quote: But at the end of the day nothing works better and is easier to debug and maintain than just pain JS and native CSS.

I have been hoping that WebAssembly would become the new "framework" that way folks wouldn't feel the need to encapsulate the horror that is JavaScript.

Just as Jacquers said, this is a solid way to ensure that you end up developing your own UI framework that's both poorly tested, poorly documented, but worst of all is not known by anyone but the current developers working on it. How much time is a business really going to want to waste re-inventing the wheel when there's frameworks out there already?
I would think it'd have an impact on recruitment as well. It's all well and nice to mention that the front-end is written using vanilla JS and CSS, but ultimately at some point the question is going to be asked "what sort of front-end libraries or frameworks do you use?" and someone is going to have to explain that this developer (with experience with Angular + React + Typescript + LESS/SASS/SCSS) is going to have to learn a whole new, custom framework. Yikes

I've been doing web dev for many years and all I ever add is jquery and a common js file. There's no need to build your own ui framework. Keep it simple.

I have yet to see a framework that was worth the trouble to lean. So many of them lead to inefficient code and unindexable database queries that they simply aren't worth the hassle.

Frameworks are "good" if all you ever do is write the same type of app; typically featuring lots of "data grids".

8 versions of Angular in 6 years! The problem is not just keeping up with the latest version: some old projects are still using the older versions. When the customer comes back to you with a feature request, you have to write/maintain code that interacts with old Angular. Plus later versions of Angular use Typescript which developers have to learn as well. The learning curve is very steep with Angular and is difficult to troubleshoot when things go wrong.

I was going to object with "what's wrong with VCL or WPF", but then I've read it's about web UI frameworks, not UI frameworks in general.

What I want to know is which company this is:
Quote: I once interviewed with a really big video game company. You know what their development policy was changing to? Plain ECMA (JavaScript) and CSS.
because that is just impressive

Server side Blazor is very underrated for web work. Then again I don't have anything pushed out to production yet, but the development experience is so much nicer.
It's going to get even better when they get hot reload to work.

I like Angular, but the author has a really good point when you get to V7 of it. And I can't keep up with upgrading Angular versions, finally coming to a road block on V7.2 or something, breaking my entire app when compiling because my .Net framework won't play nice with it. Constantly having to change NPM packages to fix an issue. I need to revisit my website when I get time again. I may just dump it and write a new one in something else.
I'm working on a PHP App Upgrade for a customer and decided to keep it in PHP but went 7.4.14 using objects I wrote, plain vanilla JavaScript ECMA6, and Plain CSS that I wrote from scratch along with BootStrap 5. I'm almost a year in now and I've been able to code in peace without having to upgrade anything. This app should be able to run another 10 years without an update.
If it ain't broke don't fix it

The drive gave up the ghost about a week ago; maybe the "phrik kee noo" pepper (translation: "spicy sh*t of mouse") chilified electrons in the Thai electricity was just too much for it after 4 years of constant guzzling.
Two days later, after the usual tearing of hair and clothing, in states ranging from paresthesia to paranoia, a 1 terabyte WD Blue was installed, Win 10 installed, and ... you know what comes next ...
The excruciatingly tedious tribulations of restoring, reinstalling, reregistering, driver downloads, Win update after update, sucking the backup honey down from various clouds.
Lost some good stuff, including parts of a code library for geometry functions I intended to publish here ... darnit; just after i had coded for finding the foci and perimeter (using a Ramanujan approximation) of ellipses. Contents of GDrive partially bolloxed, some OneDrive stuff transmogrified into hexadecimal teratomas.
I hear what you are thinking: in my defense, let me say I was about to do my weekly full image backup.
Here's a strange thing: after all this foofaraw, suddenly, when using Skype, the built-in laptop camera now renders my ugly mug in full color, instead of fifty shades of gray.
May you be ever free from such afflictions !
cheers, Bill

So ... why not restore the previous weeks?
Yes, you lose 7 days work, but that's waaaay better than losing it all. Or am I missing something? 
I can strongly recommend dual drives: SSD for apps and Windows, a separate HDD (or SSD if the finances run to it) drive for data and work. Separate backups, and if one goes, you don't have to waste time with the other. And obviously, never rely on OneDrive or Google Drive as backups rather than simple transfer / duplication media.
But that's probably preaching to the choir anyway!

I've used Dell laptops for over 20 years and will soon buy the next one. The current one is an XPS-15 that will turn 5 next month, but it's getting a little long in the tooth, with its ZXCV keys having become flaky.

Time to start using GitHub or Azure DevOps or something for storing (and versioning!) your code?
(But that sucks you lost data)

I posted long time ago for my old HP computer that can not power up. I got lot of of tips from this lounge.
two weeks ago, my area got a power outage and my workstation Dell T1700 SFF can not power up.
I speculated the power switch button or power supply may be the key reasons. so I ordered a power switch button for $5.99 and power supply for $30.00 from eBay. yesterday I got all of them in my mail box.
so this morning I installed these two components. it is very easy to install them with Dell's simple and clean design of chassis.
press the power button, then it starts to reboot now...

There's nothing like diagnosing and fixing your own equipment. Always gave me a sense of accomplishment, and a feeling of independence.

yes, I have such feels. also I gained more confidence on Dell computers. So all computers in my home are Dell...

Boo! You should have installed one of the components then tried. Now you don't know which part was busted.
Some of us are invested in the story. 
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
|
|
|
|
|
since these components are ordered and hard to return, so I installed them all in one shot.
based on symptom, I think it is power supply issue.
