Caught in the Framework Trap: Peter’s Story
Meet Peter, an enterprising startup founder who in 2016 was driven by the ambition to develop a groundbreaking web application that could change the world.
Peter, an ambitious startup founder
Peter, like many of us, believed that the latest frontend frameworks held the key to unlocking innovation and efficiency.
He comes across Ember.js, a frontend framework that gained significant traction from 2012 to 2018, renowned for its established conventions and robust viewpoints. He thinks:
“Wow, Ember.js looks great. Let’s build our complete frontend architecture around it. We can even hire many aspiring developers, eager to learn this fancy innovative technology”
Things started great. Thanks to the new technology, his vision was brought to life rapidly. His dedicated team of ten skilled developers, now well-versed in Ember.js, was highly motivated and was able to build a feature for feature in no time.
But, as time passed, Peter began to notice that his developers were losing motivation. The popularity of Ember.js was declining, and new technologies like Svelte.js, Solid, and Qwik were getting involved.
