          1. A small collection of my takes: - you NEVER need Flux-style state management. Period. - every "modern" framework has been obsolete since late 2018 and arguably around 2015 - related: if you're choosing a VDOM or a compiler in 2021 you're half a decade behind the state of the art

          - every web app needs: message bus, Web Components, FSM. You can get 80% of the way with nothing else. - 10kb of good HTML and CSS would PROBABLY be better than a huge chunk of your JS app - understanding regular expressions is required for any dev

      - identifying - and then understanding - patterns is literally the most foundational skill to software development, and it seems like maybe a huge percentage of developers don't have it. - == in JS is completely safe

        - using the const keyword in JS is almost always objectively incorrect, despite how your feels feel about it - JS should focus on reactive & functional programming tools like the pipeline operator and Observables
