The article lists, things like transpilers, polyfills, tree shaking, minification, CSS transformation, then declares that this is all super complex and that we need to start over. To me as a dev these are elements that have started to work transparently a long time ago. It just isn't something I worry about in my day to day frontend work, the same way a Spring + HTMX user doesn't care about the Java -> JVM -> Assembly pipeline. The most complex things I deal with as a frontend dev is 1. Browser issues 2. Server client communication.
