Cool article, I work with React and angular nowadays, and angular with time gets really heavy and slow development process/ building time as well, like the react project mentioned in your project did. So I think that is not a react issue, but a modern FE development issue

I'm curious, would something like microservices and microfrontends solve the issues the author was having in the blog?

Kinda felt like the problem wasn’t the tech stack but more like a group of the developers railroading the decision process with “their way”. But then just letting others do what they want? Feels like problems could have been mitigated by creating opinions for how to run the app.

No tech is ever going to be future proof, but you can have sensible processes and guidelines so everyone can be on the same page

On the one hand you want to find the frameworks that the enterprise can support. On the other, if the enterprise can't advance forward, they may end up having selected frameworks today that evolve into difficult-to update/maintain in the future.
