“Just Use HTML”

I wanna see a website called "Don't fucking tell me what to do" that takes like 5 seconds to load 10 different frameworks.

This could be summed up in one sentence: Just use the right tool for the job, no more no less

I love the clever meta commentary on web dev. Taking a good, simple joke and making 500 variations of it, each more bloated and more confusing until the original point is lost. :)

I loved every single video I saw on this channel. Except this one.

I think there's a lot of people who just want the web to be the web and not an application platform. That's where these "just use HTML" sentiments come from.

Tools are great and we should use them, but we should also have a solid understanding of the fundamentals. No problem is so complicated that you can't afford to spend the time learning about how css works and only understand adding tailwind classes to <div>s.

I loved that article so much the first time I read it that I decided to uncomplicate my portfolio and I'm currently rewriting it with just html and 11ty with liquid for some quick "components".

I'll be honest, as someone who heavily uses React, Vue etc, constraining myself to just f*cking use HTML, CSS and vanilla JS every once in a while feels like fresh air. Sure I might not do it for that big corporate dashboard, but it's helpful to stay away from frameworks and just build a small tool once in a while.
