You are literally just describing the conceptual differences between functional programming and object oriented programming. It has nothing to do with front end vs backend, except for the fact that React has vastly popularized functional paradigms on the frontend.

If you come from a Java / Spring background, that will seem foreign, if you come from an express background it will feel natural.

Functional programming is extremely pleasant though. Its been described as what object oriented would look like if you actually followed all the SOLID principles. You should keep an open mind.

I'm questioning why things are being done in the way they're being done and you're saying I'm being close minded? Also spewing out some more jargon like that's going to impress me?

And LOL at "it will feel natural after you get used to it." I don't think you understand the concept about something feeling natural. Like I say I just make stuff const because someone put some bullshit in the linter. Enforcing dumb rules in a linter is the opposite of keeping an open mind, it forcing preferences on people.

I think I've confirmed it's just FE religious dogma. Just keep on repeating whatever Theo says and people will think you know what you're talking about.

Lol good luck on that promotion, you seem difficult to be around.

I wonder how your company handles performance reviews when you already know everything about all types of programming?

Yup, it's definitely just some religious dogma going on there.

You think it's a good career choice to conform and never question anything so you wind up being indistinguishable from an LLM? Ok, good luck!
