SILICON VALLEY, CA - In an unprecedented display of consistency that has left the tech world reeling, local web developer Alex Chen, 28, has reportedly stuck with the same JavaScript framework for an astonishing three weeks.
Chen, known in local dev circles as "The Framework Whisperer" for his ability to adopt and discard JS frameworks at breakneck speeds, has been using Svelte without interruption since August 1st, shattering his previous record of 4 days set with Vue.js in 2022.
"I don't know what came over me," Chen said, visibly shaken by his own stability. "I woke up one morning and just... didn't feel like switching to Angular. Or React. Or that new framework that was released during this interview."
The news has sent shockwaves through the JavaScript community. Framework creators are reportedly in crisis mode, with one anonymous source from a major tech company stating, "If developers start sticking with one framework, how will we justify our jobs?"
Chen's colleagues have expressed a mix of awe and concern. Senior developer Lisa Patel noted, "I'm worried about Alex. Yesterday, I caught him reading documentation instead of immediately rewriting our entire codebase in a new framework. It's not like him at all."
The unprecedented event has not been without its challenges. Chen admitted to suffering from "withdrawal symptoms," including uncontrollable urges to create new npm packages and a persistent eye twitch triggered by the sight of stable, well-maintained code.
Despite the difficulties, Chen remains committed to seeing this through. "I'm taking it one day at a time," he said, his fingers twitching as he resisted the urge to type 'npx create-next-app'. "But I've heard whispers of a revolutionary new framework that's only been downloaded 50 times. Maybe I'll check that out... you know, just to stay informed."
As of press time, Chen was last seen furiously typing at his keyboard, alternating between Stack Overflow and the GitHub repo of an obscure framework with a name that's just an unpronounceable emoji.
