Build on quicksand, sink into quicksand.

I may complain about Swift/iOS/macOS breaking things every year but they seem like bedrock compared to many JavaScript environments and frameworks. Come to think of it, even many Java apps seem to be built on a quicksand morass of constantly changing frameworks.

But I think you can have fairly stable JavaScript if you write primarily vanilla JS and don't rely on the latest bleeding-edge features in Chrome, etc..
