Unlabeled doesn’t mean safe or legit.
Me after a quick research:
2017: €2.42 billion fine for favoring its own comparison shopping service.
Results: huge changes to Google's shopping service.
2018: €4 billion fine over Android-related practices.
Results: Google Play separately from Google Search and Chrome, and manufacturers gained more flexibility over preinstalled apps.
React/Vue/Svelte are view libraries that give you more flexibility.
Angular gives you structure.
For large enterprise apps with many developers, consistency and standardization is often the main reason people choose it.
Apple is an example of great consumer focus vs tech requests of “but I want to run Kubernetes on my iPad it’s powerful enough”.
That’s thanks to Steve Jobs. iPhone was a #1 smartphone for a decade without ever mentioning the RAM or CPU MHz in the announcements or marketing material. Even if there was less RAM or worse specs than the Snapdragon at the time, iPhone was still faster and sold more.
This philosophy is still at the core of Apple.
I wish more companies worked this way, but I don’t know anyone even close.
Will OpenAI with dozens of “verticals” be as good as a vertical focused SaaS?
They can ship a CRM/iPaaS/tables, but will they be better than Salesforce/Zapier/Airtable?
I don’t think so, I think it’ll just end up as bloat.
Ember on frontend is what Rails is on backend: less fashionable, opinionated, mature, and still useful when you value long-term app consistency over ecosystem hype and new JS framework of the month.
Since then I realized I’ll never require a react/vue/angular/ember/svelte/etc experience, just go for good JavaScript developers with frontend experience, framework doesn’t matter.
Took them a week or two to understand the Ember patterns that’s it.
I think we overcomplicate, all these frameworks are just slightly different ways how to build web apps, the core patterns are the same. Anyone experienced can pick any of these frameworks in matter of days or weeks.
Same on the backend, great if you’ve have experience with any of the express/hapi/koa/nest/fastify/hono, but if you don’t have experience with the one we use, it’s still fine. Hire good engineers, not good “framework” engineers.
