This whole thing is the problem. AngularJS was released in 2010. If in 2010 I'd know that the damn thing would die in 2021, and that I would have to rewrite it all by that date, I would not have used the damn thing in the first place.

I also at some point inherited an app written in Vue 2. By the time I got it, Vue 3 was already out and a couple of years later, Vue 4, completely different to Vue 2, was out. Rewriting was not an option, so I had to create a docker image that can compile the damn thing offline, cause if some part of the supply chain breaks, well, that's it.

Ten or eleven years is not a super long time in enterprise software. Having to keep upgrading and changing libraries just cause the devs of the libraries get bored should not be a thing.
