I'd think most likely its the bit about React. I don't think it would be likely its about going back to Ukraine.

React is sort of the one used all over, it takes a bit more risk to use Angular, Vue or Svelte and those would predominantly be in startups. The issue is it is actually hard to hire people with Vue and Angular so React is the one chosen.

Do you mention when applying you could work with React?

thanks for sharing your thoughts!

I hate React because it’s a library, not an opinionated framework. I don’t want to choose a library for basic stuff over and over again and care if it was a good decision and will it be maintained in the next few months. And it doesn’t include TypeScript out of the box what leads to a handful of untyped projects on which I have zero willingness to work on. Even with types, from my experience culture of ‘type as much as you can’ is much stronger amongst Angular devs rather than React ones.

I'm not sure if it is React specifically or it the general attitude that this is reflective of.
