OP: Hey guys how can I learn to write a simple vanilla webpage?

HN: No problem, just deploy a container, set up nginx, use Express, VueV3, run the Esbuild Go tool, leverage the MVC pattern and get the dependencies with Webpack, then you need to use a web component wrapper on top of bootstrap and style it with SaSS compiled to CSS - easy peasy!

While I _agree_ with the sentiment that front end dev is a mess. This is like saying "Modern Sports is Ridiculous because there's not one team". There will always be multiple approaches to building Apps just as there are many sports teams.

Backend dev is such a mess. Should I use Rails? Or Django? Or Lavarel? Or MS Dotnet? Or Node? There’s no common approach suggested.

It is like shopping for a bottle of wine.
