That is what elections are for.

To me React hooks look like they want to be a different programming language while still using js-syntax. It would be great if "useState", "useMemo" and the like would be first class citizens in a PL.

Hooks as they are have some non-obvious rules which can make them hard to understand / learn. Also debugging is not great (but that's true for react in general, imo)

what happened in 2013?

is complexity theory constrained to binary representations? Why should it?

I agree totally. It matches my learnings in my career as well. But how much slack is the right amount? What do you think?

I've made the opposite experience (in germany). No company will ever fire anyone. If they really need to, they give you a generous leaving package. The only exception is if the company going bankrupt, in which case the state might help (Kurzarbeit or bail out).

sounds like we are working at the same company ;)

Good to see that this approach seems to be working for you, i wish you the best.

sounds like an ideology lock-in. Let's hope you never get a problem which does not fit your current architecture well, or else you'll end up spending weeks or even months solving an otherwise trivial problem.

I've worked with "configuration-based implementations" and in my experience they are hard to work with (no debugging, incomplete documentation and implementation, little flexibility), require an staggering amount of infrastructure, are hard to test and will approach a programming language over time.

not just warranted, the (2019) is very misleading.
