Lessons learned from implementing a text editor related to front-end development
The more I read, the more I felt that the author was long-windedly discovering FSM&#x27;s, only describing them using the language de-jour - i.e. JavaScript-ecosystem-ism&#x27;s.<p>Is this the state of things today - that kids start off as highfalutin&#x27; &quot;developers&quot;, whereby 95% of their apps are written by others (because: &quot;npm -i &lt;all the things&gt;&quot;), and then .. eventually, from the top-down, trickle through the stack learning &quot;the things&quot;, giving it all a new fancy name, and blogging about it?  Because to me, this seems more like devolution at work in the computer science industries, not some kind of radically derived insight.<p>I&#x27;m not trying to be overly critical, but for a lot of us, &quot;discovering that C-based apps are, weirdly, similar to what us React-ites are doing&quot; sure seems like a step backwards from real stack competency.
