Wow that's bold! Sounds like a cool place to work. Is your workplace by any chance looking for new Rust developers? ๐
How did you come to that decision? From a sort of business standpoint, it seems very risky to adopt technology such as Leptos in a production setting. Or perhaps you only use it for smaller things internally or something?
Well, it's only my current project that uses Leptos. I didn't mean for it to sound like the whole shop does.
But yeah, to be allowed to do that in our project, us coders put in the legwork and assumed responsibility for that decision. Like, we started into this project with three seniors, all of us with a backend focus, but two of us had built a Leptos UI in our freetime, while none of us felt confident in being able to put out a JS frontend.
To some degree, yeah, it is cool that management does allow us to take responsibility for technical decisions. But well, it's not like they had frontend devs layin' about that they could've swapped into the project, so when we told them we can make it work with Leptos, they were like, sure, make it work.
I also have to say that the project is not yet technically in production. It should be by the end of the year. But yeah, the UI was pretty much done two years ago.
We only had one really gnarly Leptos upgrade at the start of this year, where they made lots of breaking changes and it took three consecutive days to get our UI to compile again.
But hopefully Leptos won't need larger breaking changes for a while and, aside from two logic bugs we introduced during the upgrade, it did work flawlessly once it compiled, so in some ways that did increase my confidence in it. Like, if it was JS or TS, we would've just not done a similarly large upgrade.
