David Heinemeier Hansson Interview
The Californer/10248140

SAN FRANCISCO - Californer -- In 2020, we invited David to speak at RubyRussia, Evrone's 11th annual Moscow programming conference. Prior to the event, we got a chance to talk to David about the world of software development and his approach to writing phenomenal code.

The Interview

Evrone: Hey David, it's a pleasure to be speaking with you today. Let's start our interview. What is the best way for an average developer to decide if they need to start with a "low JavaScript" approach and evolve their application later, or they need to use Angular, React or Vue from the start? What decision strategy would you recommend?

David: If you're building something that looks or tastes like a vanilla web app, like Basecamp, GitHub, Shopify, whatever, then I think minimal-JS is the way to go. It's not no JS, just minimal. If you're building something that's highly interactive, like a game, or a photo editing app, or anything that's more of the single-screen-tons-of-state variety, then looking into a full SPA makes sense.
