Surprising! I remember writing prototype-based JavaScript. Was quite happy when Backbonejs came up, handlebars etc, eventually the first version of Angular. Task managers like Grunt and Gulp. All of that helped me a lot! But I’ll be honest, when I tried React in 2015, it beat everything! The class syntax was weird in JavaScript, but vaguely remember using react with prototype, but still was a great! I still write JavaScript directly in the browser console or some shebang nodejs/bun scripts but rather write typescript and React or similar lib for UI honestly.

BackboneJS MarionetteJS over modern frameworks any day. They actually force you to understand core JavaScript instead of hiding everything behind framework abstractions. Too many devs know React/Vue/Angular but haven’t truly mastered the JS fundamentals!

I know that some of my own generation is to blame due to how they communicate older practices. In the past we were way more primitive, e.g. LAMP, Coldfusion, and jQuery, Motools etc. We’d spend most of our time fighting IE6 support then achieving anything close to today’s SSR. Paying jobs were mostly web development and not application development (<2010). Backbonejs, knockout, modular templating libraries and increasing team sizes help advance these in the form of new ideas such as early rehydration etc (<2016), which is the closest of today’s?

Every major Gawker/G/O property ran on Kinja: Gizmodo, Kotaku, Lifehacker, Jezebel, Deadspin, io9, Jalopnik, The Root, The Onion, ClickHole. The platform went offline in mid-2025 when the domain expired. The backlink profile is insane: - backbonejs .org, kottke .org, ma .tt (Matt Mullenweg) - Washington Post, The Atlantic, Fast Company, Hollywood Reporter - Pops Sci, How-To Geek, Tom Hartmann - GitHub, Stack Overflow, Wikipedia (25 links) - .edu links from Harvard, Stanford, Stony Brook, Purdue - .gov links from sharkia .gov.eg, americanprogressaction .org 945K referring pages. 9,700 unique referring domains. 52 EDU backlinks.

Kicking off TWO client projects today!! One is ongoing mobile app maintenance and App Store updates. The other is an audit to see if Hotwire Native can work with a site running BackboneJS, NextJS, and React. 😅

Finally gave up on migrating my old project off of BackboneJS and Grunt and Coffeescript and just rebuilding it like a million times quicker x.com/msfeldstein/status/450…

Visiting the BackboneJS website is like stepping into a time machine.

Minha senioridade: Comecei a programar no auge do BackboneJS e peguei ali o inicio do React. Já codaram em backbone?

Learned that lesson the hard way 12y ago when I was a startup CTO with a BackboneJS frontend When triggering imperative re-renders, you'd rather be in a team of very skilled/organized people Otherwise, the sequencing is likely to become a mess quickly

React vs Remix - Do we really want to move back to imperative re-renders? As far as I remember, we already tried that See, for example, this BackboneJS counter

I did my backboneJS time. I kinda disagree. I value BackboneJS experience because it means you understand why one-way data flow is so much better. The problem with triggering updates is that you can end up with update cycles across controllers.
