I sure love the smell of Wirth’s law in the morning - smells like my PC melting.

Select all angular, leptos, vue, solid and react variants -> react literally is consistently the slowest

With the process improvements of 2025, if it doesn't take you an innovation pool of at least 16 petaquacks to display a webpage, are you even trying?

Anyone else up downscaling their innovation?

PHP or blazing fast PHP-fpm, MySQL/MariaDB or Postgres, json for config, jQuery… it is good enough for most cases.

For Netflix, Spotify, Facebook, Waze, and other heavily used sites with millions users… it is a different game.

But instead I am asked to work with tools from the wet nightmares of React developers.

Stuff that runs in Node - yet is designed as if Node, the DOM, or the OS, didn't exist.

Now that's never boring. They can't even consider that everything might work better without their favorite tool, than with it. It's surreal. And awful.

Everytime I see some new editor, I know that people are really innovative because THIS will be THE ONE. /s

Another example is the internet itself. You can have a local LAN of a few computers or a global network of billions. So I'd say that to some degree innovation is measured by how well something can scale both up and down, but of course that's not always the case.
