Another interesting thing is when there is inherent complexity in the system, things remain simple.

For example in game programming, nobody is doing function currying.

And yet in React and frontend land because it is a button on screen which toggles a boolean field in the db, there are graphs, render cycles, "use client", "use server", "dynamic islands", "dependency arrays" etc. This is the coding equivalent of bullshit jobs.



What's the alternative in front-end? I had assumed those things were needed to essentially reverse engineer the web to be more reactive and stateful? Genuinely want it to be simpler.
