Often on Twitter, we’ll hear stuff like this:

Best practices don’t actually work

Or:

TypeScript has won, and it's only a matter of time you're using it whether you like it or not.

These may be true for a tiny minority of cases, such as in a code-factory: full of developers, independently working on small pieces of a very large product, but this doesn't represent the web industry. In fact, the JS-driven…

@andy stumbled on this on the other blue social. I'm a big fan of typescript (compared to javascript) and still I don't completely disagree with the post, I only have one question: why are we compareing a CMS (workdpress) with a framework (react/vue)? the same argument could have been made staying in the same category using jquery (or mootools. not I'm not quietly crying in a corner, shutup)

@alebianco it’s a fair question. The framing is something that is perceived to be popular (React etc) vs something that is actually popular, but perceived as “dead” (WordPress).

I hope that clears it up!

@andy can't believe I'm defending jquery but still ... it's right there ticking the same boxes and in the same category as react...
