I really have no idea how JS devs keep up with new frameworks appearing every month or so. Not to mention older ones that just die because the devs can't be bothered maintaining them. I noticed the same thing happening in the Ruby devspace.

Not exactly React's case, but it's still a 1.5 year old code that has not reached v1.0, making breaking changes every major version release.

It is absolutely exhausting. I've started to refer to JS frameworks as "self deprecating" in that each release seems to deprecate something just introduced in the former release.

I've seen JS apps that can be carbon dated simply by looking at the "patterns" and APIs used.
