Classics of the genre include:

• "but think of all the sites that wouldn't have been built if they weren't built terribly"
• "judging bad outcomes from popular tools is anti-inclusion because people get jobs through those tools"

It's nonsense; doesn't stand up to the mildest breeze of inspection. Stop pretending it's cogent.

We need to stop giving a pass to frontend discourse that bottoms out at "it's the customer's fault for expecting me to have done an even minimally decent job".

This is free-riding on the better work done by those that came before and created the opportunities, and strip-mining the web's reputation and values, leaving less trust and opportunity for those that follow.

• These naive social media CEOs come in, thinking that the thing “missing” from social media is “free speech.” But they’re wrong. Even if you strongly believe in “free speech” (as I do), that doesn’t mean you want to allow crazy assholes screaming insults at guests in your house. You ask those people to leave, so that your guests can feel welcome. That doesn’t mean you’re against free speech, you’re just saying “go be a crazy asshole somewhere else.”

2022 is turning into a big year for Team Finding Out, and there's still a couple of weeks left, so join me in deciding that frontend's lost decade can also come to a close.

We can decide that the JS thinkfluencers actually *didn't* know what they were talking about and go HTML-first. And it can be better.

Occurred while drafting this that language has evolved to give name to what I have observed in the frontend community's desperate lurching from one too-tall pile of JS to the next: hopium

The endless appetite to learn some new JS pattern rather than investigate how browsers actually work, keen to believe that the next set of React/Next/etc. marketing events will provide the answer...it's not working, but it's comfortably numbing.

This isn't to say that productivity isn't hugely important; it is. But there must be connective tissue between the experiences of developers and the experiences of users.

This is part of why HMR is such a tell: it mediates away the experience of getting to the end state and tries to shuffle away the reality of how much code is going to be built/sent on many interactions.

Most sites don't have deep sessions, so removing the fingerspitzengefühl generation mechanisms is tantamount to misdirection
