Wix is overly complicated bloat, and you are better off just using WordPress if you need the bells and whistles or Squarespace if you don't.

I have decided to "quiet quit" and start hunting for something better. Who knows, something might change, but I doubt it.

A bigger gripe with react is that everything is so interdependent that things like react-dom and react-router might as well just be part of react - if you update one, you need to update the other anyway.

I have a relatively common autoimmune disease. I have had much better experiences with NPs than doctors in explaining that certain medications are contraindicated for people with my disease.

1. Tech CEOs, probably like other CEOs, are easily bought.

2. Tech CEOs are terrified of retributive and/or deserved antitrust action and/or regulation changes from Trump.

The likely reality is a combination of all three.

Not open source yet. I firmly believe (and we have lived experientially in the last several decades) that all software will eventually be supplanted by an open source solution that becomes the industry standard.

This person is just trying to get ahead of the game!

Nothing against them, but the solutions have become commoditized, and OpenAI is going to lack the network effects that these other companies have.

Perhaps there will be new breakthroughs in the near future that produce even more value, but how long can a moat be sustained? All of them in AI are filled in faster than the are dug.

Startups are nice because the environment you are describing quickly leads to a failed startup. I've identified recently that that's a preference of mine. The need for survival does wonderful things to organizational alignment.

You are very smart, you appear driven. You either need to piss your drive away, or find a role where you can perform to the degree that you desire.

You should learn React. Everyone (including non-web devs) should probably have a basic understanding of React state management. Back in the day when JQuery was the top library, everyone was free to use whatever lib they wanted (and things besides jQuery were better for certain things), but it was also somewhat expected that everyone would have some experience, even in passing, of jQuery.
