I'm not saying to use what frameworks win in popularity. The problem is; how are you supposed to know which framework/library tool is going to be the best for your project without actually trying it in said project? I've heard a lot of stories of startups going down a path of using a new library because they initally thought it would be the right tool to fit their needs, but after actually implementing it they find it was the worst decision they ever made. They inevitably end up needing to rewrite everything (eventually) using the more appropriate tool.

With that said, I'm looking for advice on how to avoid that scenario, but yet stay current with tech.

You should not ever, under any circumstances, apply the 'next big thing' to your project if your criteria for success is "other people are using it".

You should evaluate your needs and pick a tool based on those.

There aren't "winners". There are tools. Some of them are more effective at certain things than others.

If you are asking how to evaluate "which framework is going to win", then I'd argue you have no business making these decisions.

Agreed, this concept of making a modular, reusable, less technical code editing, and a collaborative coding environment is what a lot of engineers see as the future of development. I've heard some engineers argue that this is going to be a better way for them to collaborate with product owners and managers. I do wonder though what it would take to have companies start adopting a type of workflow using such apps...

Couldn't they have blocked it for another reason listed in their terms? Wouldn't it make the most sense to ask them in an appeal?

It is almost shocking how data-poor these reports are.

For instance there is a "fact sheet" on cable news that aggregates together groups of three cable news networks. These could be hiding large variations between, say, Bloomberg and CNBC, so why are they doing this?

This fact sheet talks about total viewership but doesn't say anything at all about the demographics of the viewers.

Just way to thin for what is supposedly a well-funded organization.

The saddest part is that a lot of individuals won't even consider this when seeing such content.

One of those simple yet brilliant things I wonder why it hadn't been invented yet.

Aren't those ideas the ones that are always the most successful businessess too?
