People implement different ways of doing things all the time; they have to get ideas somewhere and they also have to see their work is worthwhile for others. You might or not like the current state; you just suck it up, I get that, we all do. We also can complain and try to do something about the things we do not like. Every new software is created for some reason; money opportunity, interest, scratching an itch or trying to get rid of pet peeves. Nothing wrong with that and personally I like to read about people’s issues with software; it keeps me confident that ‘this’ is not ‘it’, because if it was, I would become a full-time pizza chef. In the meanwhile, obviously I suck it up and build things; I can still hope for better. For me personally, Phoenix and Blazor(server and maybe client) show that I am not the only one annoyed by the stuff ‘everyone uses’.

Noone (well...) sits behind HN crying while doing nothing; but it is a platform where people go who actually make the changes or at least talk about them without dismissing them with ‘just use node/react and stfu’ or, almost the opposite, ‘just use wordpress and stfu’ like much of reddit and other programming forums (as far as there are).
