Webdev is a shitshow so investors money could burn quicker. Huge potential for companies that can come in and transform the stack by throwing away the whole "modern" JS stack and use things like Turbo or LiveView
Agree, and the most maddening thing is that the platform is honestly better than ever. Doing your layout in CSS is so much easier now than it was 10 years ago, thanks to CSS variable, containers queries, and widely supported flexbox & grid.
It's the NPM ecosystem above that's being stupid, and believe that adding more tools and more processing is a good thing.
This is such a biased take.
There's many ways to build a website, you just don't like the most popular way because you're not comfortable with the technology and ethos.
That's ok, but don't go around spouting nonsense about about investors throwing their money away on js projects.
