Frontend churn has chilled out so much over the last few years. The default webapp stack today has been the same for 5 years now, next.js (9yo) react (12yo) tailwind (8yo) postgres (36yo). I'm not endorsing this stack, it just seems to be the norm now.

Compare that to what we had in the late 00's and early 10's we went through prototype -> mootools -> jquery -> backbone -> angularjs -> ember -> react, all in about 6 years. Thats a new recommended framework every year. If you want to complain about fads and churn, hop on over to AI development, they have plenty.

I remember that. To be honest it was exhausting. Fun, but exhausting. It’s nice now to have found a stack that is “just fine” for most things.
