A modest critique of Htmx

True, but it does suck to have backed the wrong horse. You framework/library/platform can rot if nobody else is using it. You can't get away with just ignoring it.

It helps to pick "boring tech", and hope that what has worked will continue to work. But it's still unpleasant to hear about the X killer every week, when X is your bread and butter.

Hasn't Rails been traditional server with patched with dynamic parts since like 2005? I would pick that

I've been ignoring frameworks and focusing on mostly vanilla JS and have worked on some of the most interesting and well paying projects for 15 years now. Haven't been following any of the hype, even Typescript. Was forced to do some React/Typescript at work for the first time last year and it was fine. Was able to get up and running in a few days.
