A small contemporary frontend discourse glossary:
"full-stack": junior, not trusted to independently operate any section of the stack
"state management": state propagation, but only for a tiny sliver of the presentation layer, and with no sync or vector clock
"performant": slow, both in isolation and in composition. Also, a word that indicates the speaker is unfamiliar with modern CPU, storage, and networking performance
"scales": requires extra work to use at scale
-
@slightlyoff My only little challenge is that many people use the word performant to describe things that accomplish goals for them and advance things forward. Its not entirely a bad usage even if they are unfamiliar with those things.

@morganm It's certainly *misleading*. English speakers with an understanding of the root words will find this cursed derivation both frustratingly divorced from other conjugations and bewildered by people who use it in any of these ways.

@slightlyoff curious if you had a minute, if you could link a great resource for learning about 'modern CPU, storage, and networking performance'. I don't use the term full stack but I do have more to learn in these areas

@morganm These are a decade out of date at this point, but a reasonable starting place:
