This demo reminded me of 2001-2002 when I was hanging out on forums about Macromedia Flash: people were making crazy demos with a mix of hand-drawn shapes, animations and ActionScript.

What you can do in modern HTML+CSS+JS is incredible. Too bad people bury it down under millions of layers of frameworks and code transformers.

Hand-written HTML+CSS+JS can scale, but cool-react-demo.dev is more impressive for all sorts of reasons. You also can't blame people for chasing the skills that get you hired.

Lots of factors got us into this framework and transformer hellscape, and the 'people' that made is happen are right here. I'm not without some blame within my own organization for sure.
