I've been using Vue since late 2014 and I'm a huge fan of how it's evolved. My day job is pretty much as a full time Vue consultant at this point, so I owe a lot to the project as a whole.
I think the Vue team are a really great example of how to maintain a widely adopted open source project whilst keeping almost the entire user base happy. Steady improvements with a focus on backwards compatibility, easy migration between versions and a lot of consulting with the community. The new composition API had a little backlash when it was proposed, but it seemed like the benefits were well communicated and the community came round. Personally I love all the changes in version 3 so far.
I'm hoping the new composition API will make adopting Vue an even easier choice for larger projects, I think the benefits are obvious. I admit I do have a slightly vested interest in increased adoption though.
Congrats to the Vue team on getting this to RC stage!
- blackrock 6y agoAre you working as a solo consultant? How do you find your clients?
- string 6y agoYes. It's a split really. I was lucky enough that when I quit my job to go solo, some clients I'd worked with previously got in touch directly after my non-compete clause expired. Other work I've found through friends. I also do some contracting if I see a something come up online that's Vue specific. I live relatively frugally so I can usually afford to be picky with the contracts I go for.
