Echo JS 0.11.0

Edited title to be more clear.

This is a crazy shallow article from early 2018, and emphatically not even close to "Everything" you would need to know.

It's still development... what people were doing before was hacking crap together.  Now it's much more a line of development.  I just don't like using the term Software Engineering, when you aren't applying Engineering as a Discipline.  You *CAN* write software as an Engineering discipline.  However, unless you are working on (air/space)craft, other vehicles, weapon systems and/or medical equipment, it's probably a waste of resources to do so.

This isn't to say that front end development today with the component systems we have isn't significantly better than what came before, there have been component library based systems of development for the front end for two decades.  This isn't exactly a new approach, only relatively new tech.

I think the title would have been better as, "Front-End Development Is Dead. Long Live Front-End Development!"

Kind of irked by the shallow comparison and expanded my own.

Considering React was often paired with Backbone earlier on, I definitely wouldn't put the learning difficulty up with Angular.  Now, Flux/Redux or GraphQL are often used for state management and they can be difficult to learn, but imho still not nearly as difficult as Angular.

It's worth noting, that if you're actually building applications that are used internally or tooling that does work, that is different from a general use web search or ecommerce site.

If you can load an SPA within 2-3 seconds initial load and everything else being very fast (under 100ms or so max, <10ms as goal), then you will generally be fine and well ahead of many web applications.  Of course, just because you have a captive audience is no excuse not to do due diligence, I'm only suggesting that it's a *LOT* of effort to wire up donut caching and server rendering for an application scenario that really doesn't need it.

Don't use moment if you can at all avoid it... use luxon [1], from the same developers even.

Author cuts off half the article, and redirects to yet another website.

No publicly available pricing without creating an account.  Apparently tracking and metrics are injected.  Not sure how much value this offers over simply using closure compiler on JS code.

Not sure where secrets are actually stored... there does seem to be a couple APIs embedded and hard coded.
