Leaving Everything Behind For Elixir

Career Journey The speaker's career journey started with Elixir, then moved to Go Team and front end for Twitch rewrite. Ended up as a React YouTuber but still loves F stack and Elixir.

ReactJS Burnout Experienced burnout from using various JS frameworks like Gatsby, Next.js, Remix, Astro. Dealt with complexity of multiple libraries and frameworks to achieve simple tasks.

Gatsby Experience 'Gatsby' was revolutionary for static site generation but learning GraphQL was not fun. Received unhelpful advice when struggling with over-engineered tools.

Next.js Transition 'Next.js' provided similar functionality as Gatsby without GraphQL in less code. Experienced flexibility but also faced challenges in server-side props usage.

Remix Framework 'Remix' initially seemed limited due to lack of static site generation support; later realized its potential after acquisition by Shopify.

Challenges with Remix 'Remix' faced criticism for misleading adoption claims compared to 'Next'. Discovered complexities in maintaining the framework.
