15 years ago, 1 person could maintain the whole stack and write 90% of the code. I think we lost something in the pursuit of more powerful abstractions

React laggard here. Why did Redux gain so much traction? Was Context not available yet?

Other languages…. In hindsight it’s been only JS for 20 years 😅

This is heart breaking and scary. Innuendo Studios produced great videos consistently for a decade, amassed 500K subscribers, and it wasn't enough. "Outside of a few big names, almost all of your favorite YouTubers are doing worse than you think."
