In the world of JS heavy web frontends, Electron and apps like Slack and MS Teams, this article is like a cold shower.

Not a front end dev but this is why I love using vanilla js and pre rendered html in side projects. Easier to maintain long term as I don’t have to deal with ridiculous framework updates and feels snappier.

> in side projects

Why not for the main projects too?

Sharing a vanilla codebase can be complicated, but I am finding that it is possible to convert others to this religion with a little bit of pair programming.

Once someone experiences this path, you may find they get hooked on it pretty quickly.

I never experience slow frontends. It's always either very slow requests, probably to some Java monstrosity, or newsletter/cookie modals, that makes me leave a website

I don't understand why it is implied that Java is slow. A running JVM is not slow.

A "monstrosity" as you put it could have been written in any language.
