Comparing htmx (modifiers in html, lot of abstraction) vs remix (front/backend in same file) and then the readability of rust (lot of chaining/calls and "decorators" eg. tokio). It just works but if you get used to that syntax/rely on abstraction. I'll learn what's hot to be employed but yeah. I've been happy with just ReactJS/Express.
Its never enough, progress continually marches forward. If we accepted no progress we'd still be running fortran/cobol and other old tooling.
Seems like one day you'll just say "import website" and it's done which for me isn't fun but does get the job done. Keep up with the change or get left behind.
At my job they outsourced the html/css writing so we just glue stuff together, it' s depressing.
edit: response to below, the html/css stuff they did outsource to other humans, I'm saying it's a joke because that's our job as frontend devs
