Is web dev actually a shit show? I think it's going fine isn't it?

Somente people base their opinion on the longtail of npm, ofc it is trash. But if you get the top 20% JS Projects, they are amazing

That was until RSC came along. Now things are trending downwards again.

The biggest trend in basic mutations can't tell if a connection drops.

it's kind of a mess. there's npm vs yarn, react and next, material UI and various other components, tailwind and now curlwind. oh yeah and are you doing Typescript or JavaScript? and then bun or deno?

it's possible to build things, great, but shitshow refers to the mess when figuring out how to build it.

Ok I see. I guess developing on other platforms doesn't change every 2-3 years.
