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's, only describing them using the language de-jour - i.e. JavaScript-ecosystem-ism's.<p>Is this the state of things today - that kids start off as highfalutin' "developers", whereby 95% of their apps are written by others (because: "npm -i <all the things>"), and then .. eventually, from the top-down, trickle through the stack learning "the things", 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'm not trying to be overly critical, but for a lot of us, "discovering that C-based apps are, weirdly, similar to what us React-ites are doing" sure seems like a step backwards from real stack competency.
