htmx will not be abandoned as long as I'm alive, and the API will not change significantly either

i am hoping my oldest son gets interested in computer programming and can take over as the lead eventually

Hey! Whether your son takes over or not, the larger point I was trying to make is that worst case I can vendor htmx.js with my app and keep it going for a long, long time.

Same can’t be said for the vue app and its 1500 dependencies + web pack build chain. At least not as easily.

Sacrificing the first born as god intended.

I haven't done any real web development in over 20 years, but will soon have to build some sort of dynamic web site. I toyed with React 8 or 9 years ago (though never did anything with it, really), and found everything out there to be large and clunky and difficult to work with.

I came across htmx a while back and have kept it in the back of my mind as something to potentially use if I ever had to build something. I'm glad this article came up on HN, and your comment here... makes me really want to build something with htmx!

Primogeniture is an underrated project leadership policy.

You will need a Latin motto on your coat of arms. Something like "Simplex sigillum veri".
