MISSION JQUERY ZERO: HOW FREEAGENT REMOVED JQUERY FROM OUR APPLICATION

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

FreeAgent successfully removed jQuery from its app over the span of three years. Instead of upgrading jQuery, it transitioned to Hotwire (Stimulus + Turbo), starting with low-priority areas to test the approach. Its team tracked progress using simple KPIs, engaged product teams through training and collaboration, and built internal tooling to make the transition smoother.
