Web Development Reading List #154: Yarn, Deep-Fried Data, And A Guide To Stateful Components

With new frameworks and libraries emerging, the tools we have at hand are constantly changing. But it's not only our toolkit but also the way we write code that constantly evolves - new CSS conventions are developed all the time and the best practices to write JavaScript change at least every year.

But then again, we have to remind ourselves that we shouldn't immediately jump to a new tool just because it's available, to not rewrite the whole code of a project just because conventions have changed. No project will stop working because you're using OOCSS instead of ITCSS or Backbone.js instead of React.js. If the project is an ongoing process and will be developed and maintained for another few years, you should evaluate to change tools from time to time, of course. But take your time. Better evaluate first, then reconsider, before you immediately jump on a train from which you don't know where it's heading.
