@vaporeon_ making a modern web site is such a pain in the ass using so many layers of frameworks and abstractions that some new web developers don't even know how to make static websites anymore
@vaporeon_ i do now how to do it now, don't worry lmao. but a lot of modern website design is learning to operator a hydraulic press to hammer a nail, when you could've just used a hammer
@vaporeon_ I want to clarify that there is a place for complex web frameworks. The reason they exist is that using JavaScript and the DOM for extremely complex interactivity just... sucks. These frameworks wouldn't exist if people enjoyed using the DOM for complicated applications
The issue is when people are using these gigantic frameworks to build single page applications for your personal website that is a single page showing off your projects. Like, the plot has been completely lost at that point
