From AngularJS to React to agentic coding: a decade building Abode and Moved.

In March 2015 I wrote my last post on this site. I announced that a few collaborators and I were going to build the same single page app twice, once in Angular and once in React, and compare the two. I promised to “continue with updates about the app when we start making noteworthy progress.”

This is that update. It is eleven years late, and the comparison has a winner.

It certainly has been a while since I've updated anything on this site, and a lot has changed in that time. I'm not really a website builder / web developer any more. At least not in the way I used to see myself. The freelancing version of me was focused on creating sites on open platform content management systems. I was really into Drupal (still sort of am) and thought it was the way of the future. Well times they have been changin'.
