That’s a strawman. I challenge you to write a full on production level frontend application using pure Vanilla JS. You can’t. Not in 2022…unless it’s a simple DOM manipulation job.

“Bits like this make me feel like you're just throwing a bunch of domain-related words together and hopes something sticks.”
See how easy it is to resort to ad-hominem?
So what you’ve worked across FANG companies? It’s irrelevant to the discussion. No need to show off - saying you’re an experienced software engineer is good enough. The rest of it doesn’t make your argument any more valid.
Javascript apologists like you who don’t see the problem with the ecosystem are the reason why the whole ecosystem is so fucked up with half baked systems that are barely reliable.
