Mine is that the useState hook is an actual plague on the entire React ecosystem. Regardless of your opinions of React, if you wanna use something then use it right.

I saw a nice counter to the "a poor craftsman..." analogy the other day that basically boiled down to a master craftsman will have very high standards about the tools they use.

    Yeah, I wholeheartedly agree with this. And it's not only frustrating that PHP doesn't live up to the high bar, every ""major"" update to PHP (that you graciously only get once a year) is only a small step in the right direction. They try to modernize it, buuut also try to keep it as backwards compatible as possible.

    And I think I've also seen a counter to the "a master craftsman will have very high standards" argument that boils down to "a master craftsman can work with any tool regardless of quality" but why can't we have higher standards in the programming world?
