Remember when Rails + JQuery + HTML + CSS just worked and you didn't have to deal with thousands of fucking JS dependencies just to render a single page. Yeah, I do too.

Wait, you're not seriously going to bring up Ruby on Rails and try to say something about not having to deal with thousands of dependencies?
Yes, but Ruby on Rails dependencies aren't a fucking headache to manage.

I've only had one issue with Rails dependencies. They work fucking great if you just want to drop them and leave in the default configuration but the moment you try to customize them... holy shit balls.

Remember when server side rendering plus some Nginx load balancing/port forwarding was all that was needed to show off to other technologists?
