I'm apparently late to the JavaScript Fatigue is a Thing game.

Too Manyย Tools.

At work this past quarter, weย painstakinglyย started three new projects at work. I say โ€œpainstakinglyโ€ becauseย everyย project required decisions to be made around tooling depending on the scope & needs.

Ultimately, the problem is thatย by choosing React (and inherently JSX), youโ€™ve unwittingly opted into a confusing nest of build tools, boilerplate, linters, & time-sinks to deal with before you ever get toย createย anything.
