The obvious benefit to me are the automations, I have directly experienced these time benefits

I read you think these automations lead to more harm than good so are a net negative, and I understand that point of view

However, I think this is not a tautology

I think dependency hells and bad dependencies absolutely happen indeed, but are conditioned to badly managed programming projects

And I do not want to suffer from the dumbing down of stripping out package managers

No matter how you see it, this fits the definition of dumbing down;

Is this what you really want?

If that is the case, then we can shake hands and I will use a different programming language.

That's why the creator of HTMX made _hyperscript

Hyperscript/AlplineJS would do the job

Gemini told me it got access to the data on the internet until 2021, Which is a lie (it can do real-time) So it has invented that information… Weird, considering ChatGPT 3.5 actually only got access to the data on the internet until 2021.
