Web dev shower thought:

15 years ago, if browsers would've had the capabilities they do now, a *massive* swath of tooling would've never been needed. It would've entirely rewritten web history.

I think we'll still be recovering from the "fix everything with a tool" era for a while before developers realize how much of what we've come to rely on simply isn't needed anymore.

Browsers and browser languages have become insanely powerful, in ways I don't think we even fully understand yet.
