I actually think you have a point. Sure, it’s missing nuance and there are certainly things 2000s tech will not do properly, but to be honest I’m not quite hundred percent sure what the past two decades brought other than funky frameworks and libraries. Useful, but funky. I know for example CSS animations and layout possibilities are off the charts nowadays but they do not strike me as fundamental improvements although the QoL is certainly appreciated.

What happened last two decades is browsers getting their act together though, that made a huge difference.

I’m a webdev. I work with React and Angular. Again, missing nuance but I’m not completely sure we are on the right track at all. Not sure what we should do.

I made a comparison between crystal meth and wordpress before. I’m not sure getting us all on the web (crystal meth) train is the way to go. Sure it’s standard and lots of people like it. It’s cheap.. but yeah. The alternative might be painful (aka not do it).
