The Popularist (see the meme below first) ceases to question things, stops thinking for themself, and throws all their principles out of the window as soon as a bad technology becomes popular, due to The Popularist lacking the courage and backbone needed to say no when many devs head in the wrong direction.
Do you know Software Engineers who behave like "The Popularist", making it impossible to trust them with guarding the quality of your team's software? Popularity isn't quality after all. For example, many more devs use PHP, and yet Ruby on Rails devs choose their stack as a higher quality solution for productivity and maintainability. Intelligence and quality are scarce, so in fact, popularity is an indictment, as it means something is low quality enough to be used by the least common denominator majority who are not as intelligent as the top 10%. By the way in case it isn't obvious, React.js is NOT a good technology (learn more by clicking this link).
