Rewriting in some language is a matter of skill and preference. To even consider a rewrite there should be a rational reason, i.e. it is broken or can't work in the ecosystem.
For fun and learning you can do what you want, of course.
FF is really on par with chrome for me, with the exception of few extreme performance applications like webgl.
Kill your idols and realize that we are the plebs that actually get shit done.
Personally I take too little risk myself. I am 40 now but I cannot imagine anymore how I can myself in a joyful working position. I have no fun in hunting new jobs, but getting out of the rat race and getting back into social life would bring way more opporturnities. Also I believe that I am not holding down my 1% potential, but the environment you are acting in.
* no reasonable reaction on devastating feedback
* purely numbers driven. Ignoring tech debt and creativity
* no new recruits in years
* not honoring experienced programmers
* no working creative process to bring the product to the next level
* naive and reactional cargo culting
I have great colleagues. Workload is usually fine, except too many topic on the table. We have quite a lot freedom how to handle things, but not so much about the what. Our tech management is quite horrible. The top manager has unsolved conflicts with the majority of coders. Mostly because he has no idea about tech and never gives reasonable feedback. Fluctuation is currently extreme and I will be leaving soon with only 2 tech people remaining that have been there long term.
Our company has the potential to break the 1bn threshold next decade, just to give an idea about the scale.
Eventually there is no reflection on the things we do not great with.
Lost? It is just ignored for the sake of cool SPAs and hottest new js stuff.
