Are these front end devs in the room with us?

I was more referencing other threads where vanilla js is pooh poohed and looked down upon for some reason

I think it’s because it just requires more architecture and coordination to implement at scale with any real sanity.

It isn't just React / Non-SPA, even by SSR / HTML standard there are no needless moving graphics, page / section transition. It is simple, accurate and to the point. I like the word people in this thread here to describe it as "artisan".

It really is a page of Art.

If there is only a few thing I could nitpick. Sections or indicator of how long the article is. The Moon is long... very long. And I understand why he want Image on load just to save bandwidth but personally I hate when image only start to load and appear when I scroll close to it.

I hope this will inspire a new generation of people to rethink about Front End.

Vague appeal to authority; I'm hereby asking front end devs to actually have a look and confirm the above.

Frontend dev here. Hats off to Ciechanowski as always. The code is readable and works well, and looks written with love. I wouldn't do it this way, but then again, I wouldn't do this at all. Probably couldn't.

This is an example of frontend as a craft. I am confident it was written with a model M keyboard and his home office is referred to as an atelier.

this blog, its author and the work is being idolized everywhere in this thread as artisanal and peak of craft.

it works fine on my machine, wontfix

Really, there's nothing but respect for the guy throughout the entire set of threads - maybe take your personal feud with modern front end elsewhere?
