e8d79I'm OK being left behind, thanks!
SkullgridFor every HTML 2.0 you might have tried, you were just as likely to have got stuck in the dead-end of Flash.
This one hurt. I had a decade plus old piece of tech debt from when they fucking killed flash before I could move on to new projects.
resipsaloquiturFlash had its use. I think a better analogy for me is web frameworks.
I remember in the mid 2000s there seems to be a new one every week. “LOL, you aren’t using Ruby On Rails? Peasant!” “LOL, you aren’t using Django? Peasant!”
Still seems to be the case with Electron, React, Node, blah blah blah.
Running to stand still.
I feel like the web framework question has stabilized in recent years. React and node are stable and common, and angular and a few others are good alternatives.
I hear they’re changing the language these things run on from JavaScript to TypeScript.
No thanks to the hamster wheel.
TS is a superset of js though, you can still use normal js and probably won’t have to even change the file extension or anything like literally 0 change
