I don&#39;t really like these nextjs things and web frameworks and all, I feel like they&#39;re just introducing complexity to your projects, not making things easier at all, and that they&#39;re absolutely not necessary nor worth it to deal with. please learn html/css/js, and learn to appreciate it and the neat features your web browsers already give you

@neko i feel like so much software out there is needlessly complex like this, there's so many features on the things we already use but everyone wants to keep abstracting further into these ideal APIs where you never have to think about how anything works i guess that's why techbros are putting so much effort into "no code" ideas, where you just describe a website idea to an AI and it builds it for you, without you ever understanding how it works, becoming more and more bloated

@neko@wetdry.world Better yet, just skip Javascript altogheter and learn just HTML and CSS. You don't need Javascript for the vast majority of webpages you'll ever want to make.
