Import path aliasing is a crutch for poor architecture

Read Original

This technical article critiques the use of import path aliasing (e.g., using '@/*') in modern JavaScript/TypeScript development. It argues that while aliasing hides messy relative paths, it actually masks deeper architectural problems like overly nested directory structures and poor code organization. The author explains how heavy reliance on aliasing can make codebases harder to maintain and navigate, especially due to a lack of standardization across different tools and frameworks.
