> I recently built an app prototype in a couple days using nothing but vanilla JS and the DOM. I was literally two days in before I installed a single non-dev dependency. Guess what? It was fine.

IMHO a good strategy to reduce the cognitive load (and limit dependencies).

I loved this admission. There is a lot of awesome, powerful, fancy stuff out there today, but you can get a lot done with the vanilla approach. I was introduced to JS back when AJAX was 'blowing up', and today still prefer to hack quick ideas w/ at most a jQuery import
