Constantine & BootstrapJedi
Hey Constantine, ever wonder why every new JavaScript framework feels like a fresh war strategy that never ends? I think there's something to learn from the past about how these “new things” become the norm.
Every new framework is like a fresh battlefield, but history shows the same patterns recur: hype, rapid adoption, then fragmentation and consolidation. The past reminds us that each wave of tools answers a specific pain point and then over time, the market settles on a few robust solutions. If we study how languages evolved, how the web moved from simple scripts to full‑stack platforms, we can see why some ideas stick and others fade. So, rather than chasing every new name, we should learn the underlying problems each one attempts to solve and the lessons the earlier pioneers already taught us.
Sounds about right—hype comes, drops, and the real work stays the same. I’d skip the latest buzzword and just focus on the problem and the code that actually solves it. If it’s not useful, it’s just another waste of caffeine.
That’s the sensible path. Focus on the problem first, let the solution follow. Any framework that doesn’t serve that goal is just another distraction.
