I couldn't speak this candidly about this stuff when I held a management role. People can't help but question my motivations and whatever agenda I may be pushing. Either that or I get into a lot of trouble with my internal team because they think I'm talking about them. But this is just what I've seen play out after doing this for 20+ years. And I feel like we need to be able to speak plainly.

This has been brewing in my head for a long time. The frontend ecosystem is kind of broken right now. And it's frustrating to me for a few different reasons. New developers are having an extremely hard time learning enough skills to be gainfully employed. They are drowning in this complex garbage and feeling really disheartened. As a result, companies are finding it more difficult to do basic hiring. The bar is so high just to get a regular dev job. And everybody loses.

@polotek@social.polotek.net We also need to spread the meme that transpilers and build steps are costs to be minimized, not assets. They pay no future dividend but have a constant cost.
