Git Commit: My Breakup with JavaScript
My girlfriend left me on a Tuesday. The same day React introduced yet another breaking change. Coincidence? I think not.
The Honeymoon Phase
It started so beautifully. Me and JavaScript, sitting in a tree, C-O-D-I-N-G. I loved its flexibility! Its dynamic nature! The way it would silently fail and pretend everything was fine — just like my relationships!
Then came the frameworks. First Angular — so structured, so corporate. It felt like dating a spreadsheet. Then Vue — cute, lightweight, but everyone said it wasn’t serious. Finally, React — the bad boy of frontend development. It promised everything. It delivered… well, dependency hell.
The Red Flags I Ignored
The warning signs were there. The constant updates. The way it would change its API without warning. The cryptic error messages that felt like personal attacks.
