“Just Use HTML”

Just use SSH

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

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.

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. :)

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 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.

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

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".
