I’m a UI developer and have been working with React for the past few years now. I’m interested in trying out LinkedIn but I heard it’s full of core Ember people there.
Is it true that you will have to use Ember for any Front End UI project there?
(...surely someone is going to say things about React and Facebook...)

At staff+, you’ll need solid evidence before you can influence the whole organization. Most people that want React just don’t have that kind of deep expertise to make a stand.
Plus, even the migration to Ember is not complete. Some of the even older systems are on dust. Glimmer existed as a library because Ember wasn’t able to fill all the gaps in dust.
Since MS is also pushing React, I think eventually React will be more widely adopted. The few Ember engineer i know they hate it.
BTW, I actually know of the staffs who constantly works on the TS part.
To rewrite the whole thing at LinkedIn doesn’t make sense. But it’s obviously quite a lone wolf situation here. The only other big name that uses Ember is Square.
