I hate factory-factory-factories as much as the next person, but I think it's hard to say Angular "has ruined JavaScript" when it's a minority share of the industry<p>Though I guess maybe the trajectory looked a bit different in 2014
Reminds me of Joel Spolsky's Hammer Factory (original is sadly no longer available):

This is great and funny AF, speaking as someone who did a lot of AngularJS. Thankfully, now we have Lit which is lovely and about as close to bare metal as you can get.
