“React is better than Angular” and other nonsense 🌈
A tale about a developer tired of useless and misleading articles

We don’t need another winner, and we don’t need developers to tell us which tool will be better for our job.
I really understand clickbaiting, I swear I do. And I don’t mind articles titled “This VS That”, as they’re meant to be read by curious AND unexperienced developers which will just Google that sentence.
