Stability Memes

Frontend devs mock backend folks for using plain JavaScript instead of the framework-du-jour, but secretly, we all know those vanilla JS backends have been running flawlessly for years while the frontend stack has been rewritten 17 times. That backend code written in 2014? Still chugging along without a hiccup. Meanwhile, the frontend team is busy migrating from React to Vue to Svelte to whatever shiny new framework dropped last Tuesday. Sometimes boring technology is the most reliable. And deep down, we're all a little jealous of that stability.
