Austin is most likely not a developer, none of his comments make any sense. All of his comments boil down to purist opinions and contradictions.
not even that, it is just an obsession and disconnection from reality. There are multiple benefits from not using frontend frameworks, React is really, really bad. He doesn't understand that the correct way tho he is right by pure coincidence.
Overengineered, slow, computing intensive and bloated. And it gets worse on every update since hooks were added.
