When thinking of the software stack for your next app, what immediately pops up in your mind?
I bet it'll be React, Vue or Angular with React being on the foremost front, since it's the most used client framework for the last 7 consecutive years now.
As a technology adaptor, how much does it cost your company to start a new project with React? How steep is the learning curve for the novice programmer in your team? How high is the geek factor you, the technology manager, have to employ?
It's interesting to observe how a company that created a handful of dedicated interconnected apps – Meta – successfully stresses the framework idea to generate a market of adaptors.
What made Meta stand out? Where is their expertise in helping other businesses do better in software creation? Do they have a track record of doing so? Or was it just an incident in the genealogy of client frameworks that made them stand out?
Here's the thing: When selecting your software stack, look out for who is behind the technology you're aiming at.
In the long run, this will help you with all those irritating edge cases that for sure will arise in your software projects sooner or later.
