> The problem has become that a lot of kids coming out of college have done little more than memorize Leetcode problems and outsourced classwork to AI. I've also seen less and less passion for the career as the years go by (ie. less computer nerds).

Why is this a problem, though? Imagine hiring doctors or architects with that expectation. "The problem is that no one is truly passionate about dissecting cadavers anymore".

I think our industry got hooked on being able to hire self-taught geniuses in the early days of tech. But the profession has gotten a lot more commoditized, and we just can't continue like that. Gotta hire "normal" people and teach them what they need to know. And yeah, "normal" means people who decided to learn programming because it pays well, not because they want to design compilers in their spare time.

because there are multiple abstractions in software that one is bound to come across once the software becomes complicated enough, and from that point on "passion" and "fundamentals" determine how effective they are at navigating that path

> But will potential employers even consider my CV that doesn't mention React? Will they be willing to offer the same position level and give me time to learn their stack?

Many companies who use React will not consider your CV. React is as fundamental as JavaScript itself so omitting it in a CV is red flag. And learning modern React ecosystem from the scratch is no easy undertaking even for experienced developer.

Considering future employability when choosing a tech stack is definitely a valid concern and it should be clear for everyone involved. Using unconventional technologies makes it harder to hire people, because many developers will afraid to hurt their CVs.

I don't see a scenario where this is likely, other than if you're contributing directly to the react codebase.

i'd recommend https://www.refactoringui.com/ to first get build your design "sense". it's fairly simple to build simple UI these days since the default components of design libraries are quite nice.

The end-to-end systems Missy is describing here do exist, but none of the major AV developers are using them in current vehicles. What's concerning here is that Missy Cummings is someone who should be an expert here. She directs the Autonomy lab at Duke and served as a senior safety advisor to NHTSA on this topic, among others. She's been publishing on this topic for years, so it's hard to believe she hasn't read read any of the architecture papers, or looked at the numerous talks on the subject, or even just had a conversation with an engineer.

couldn't agree more. actually i don't understand how such a distinguished faculty can have such a primitive view of the industry.

If history is an indication, any part of the JavaScript ecosystem that is not part of a formal standard, no matter how widely used or deeply integrated into the industry, is prone to getting replaced or obsoleted. There was a time when front-end development without jQuery was unthinkable. We now seem to be slowly coming out of any era when front-end development without reactive component based SPAs (React, Angular etc.) was unthinkable. I suspect that in the long run, compile-to-JS type systems will go the same way. Perhaps the alternative is a set of optional run-time validation capabilities built into ECMAScript (syntactic sugar over `typeof`?), whatever that may be.

indeed, it's almost a certainty that every framework and tool in the JS ecosystem becomes obsolete as time goes by.
